President Donald Trump announced that a preliminary agreement to end the war with Iran has already been signed during talks with French President Emmanuel Macron at the G7 summit. The U.S. claims the deal will allow the Strait of Hormuz to reopen, enabling oil traffic to resume. Senior officials say the text of the agreement will be released “pretty soon” after the formal ceremony in Geneva on Friday.
Details revealed so far include a 60‑day ceasefire and the removal of a U.S. naval blockade on Iranian ports. Iran’s deputy foreign minister confirmed that military operations would halt, while Israel warned it would keep forces in Lebanon, Syria and Gaza “as long as necessary.”
The agreement is seen as a political milestone, yet international leaders noted that it does not guarantee Iran will never acquire nuclear weapons. Western allies said their sanctions relief will hinge on measurable progress in Iran’s nuclear programme.
The U.S. has ordered immediate removal of the blockade, and Trump stated that ships are already moving through the Strait. Meanwhile, the deal is hailed by the UK, France, Germany, and Italy as a key step toward ending regional conflict and securing economic normalisation.
