US President Donald Trump announced the completion of a peace agreement with Iran, stating that the Strait of Hormuz would reopen and the US naval blockade would be lifted. Trump argued that the deal would bring peace and security to the region, and said that with the resumption of oil shipments, pressure on global energy markets is expected to ease. The agreement, set to be signed on June 19, is seen as a significant step that could reduce tensions in the Middle East.
U.S. President Donald Trump announced that the Iran crisis, which has shaken global energy markets for about four months, has ended. Trump declared the peace agreement with Iran was complete, stating that the Strait of Hormuz would be reopened and the U.S. naval blockade would be lifted. The development caused a major stir in world markets.
HISTORIC ANNOUNCEMENTS IN RAPID SUCCESSION FROM TRUMP
U.S. President Donald Trump stated in a post on his Truth Social account that negotiations with the Islamic Republic of Iran have concluded successfully.
In his post, Trump said, "Congratulations to everyone. I fully approve the free opening of the Strait of Hormuz and the immediate lifting of the U.S. Navy blockade. Ships of the world, start your engines. Let the oil flow."
In a second post, he argued that the agreement marks the beginning of a new era not only for the two countries but for the entire region. Trump noted that many American presidents before him had tried to achieve lasting peace with Iran but failed, adding that regional leaders have, for the first time, an opportunity to achieve true peace.
AGREEMENT TO BE SIGNED ON JUNE 19
According to information in the foreign press, the official signing ceremony of the agreement reached between the U.S. and Iran is planned to take place on June 19 in Geneva, Switzerland. It is reported that Pakistan and Qatar have acted as mediators in the process.
With the agreement coming into effect, it is stated that mine-clearing operations in the Strait of Hormuz will be accelerated and the restoration of normal commercial maritime traffic is targeted.
THE WORLD'S MOST CRITICAL OIL PASSAGE REOPENS
The Strait of Hormuz, through which a significant portion of the world's oil trade passes, had been operating at limited capacity for months due to conflicts between Iran and the U.S.
In recent weeks, the Trump administration announced that the U.S. military had supported the passage of hundreds of commercial ships through the strait via covert operations. Trump claimed that over 200 commercial ships and more than 100 million barrels of oil reached world markets thanks to these operations. However, none of these claims have been verified by independent sources.
OIL PRICES SHARPLY DROP
Following the news of the agreement, immediate activity occurred in global markets.
While U.S. stock futures rose, oil prices declined sharply. Brent crude and U.S. crude oil lost between 4 and 5 percent in value. Experts assess that if the Strait of Hormuz is fully reopened at full capacity, pressure on energy markets could significantly decrease.
DETAILS OF THE AGREEMENT NOT YET CLEAR
According to information in the international press, the agreement initially covers a ceasefire and the resumption of maritime traffic. Broader negotiations regarding Iran's nuclear program are expected to continue over the next 60 days. It is noted that the parties will separately address issues of sanctions, nuclear activities, and regional security during this process.
However, some experts and regional actors express that the agreement is still fragile, and recent tensions between Israel and Iran could potentially challenge the process again.
