The US and Iran appear to have reached a peace deal. The US President says a peace deal with Iran “is now complete,” with the Strait of Hormuz oil and gas shipping route to be reopened without tolls.
The Republican leader wrote on his Truth Social platform: “The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete. Congratulations to all!
“I hereby fully authorize the toll free opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and, simultaneously herewith, authorize the immediate removal of the United States Naval blockade.
“Ships of the World, start your engines. Let the oil flow!”
Shehbaz Sharif, the prime minister of Pakistan, which has been mediating in the conflict, said the accord covered Lebanon.
