US President Donald Trump writes on social media that the US has achieved “peace with Iran” and that the deal between the countries that was just announced will “bring peace and security to the whole region.”
He adds that the Strait of Hormuz will begin to be opened on Friday, when the agreement to end the war is signed.
“This great deal will bring peace and security to the whole region,” Trump writes on Truth Social. “Many presidents have tried to make peace with Iran, and all have failed before me. The leaders of the region have, for the first time, found a president who can help them achieve real peace.”
He adds, “With the opening of the strait upon the signing of the deal on Friday, for purposes of mine removal, oil will flow on both ends again for the region, and the world!”

There is no confirmation that mines have been placed in the strait, a key pathway for global oil that Iran has blocked since the beginning of the war in late February.
Israel was not included in the talks over the agreement, whose reported terms have caused profound concern among Israeli officials. The deal reportedly fails to achieve any of the goals of the war that were set out by the US and Israel, including eliminating Iran’s nuclear weapons program, depleting its ballistic missile stockpile, ending its support for terror proxies and creating the conditions for the fall of the regime.
