US-Iran peace deal announced, including Lebanon ceasefire and Strait of Hormuz reopening
Consensus Summary
The US and Iran have reached a peace deal to end their war, announced by Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on June 14, 2026, with the official signing ceremony set for June 19 in Switzerland. The agreement includes the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including Lebanon, and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, lifting the US naval blockade. US President Donald Trump confirmed the deal on social media, emphasizing the economic impact with the phrase 'Let the oil flow!' Iran confirmed the agreement but tied further negotiations to the release of frozen Iranian assets, while Israel criticized Hezbollah for breaching a ceasefire and launching rockets at civilian targets, leading to Israeli airstrikes on Beirut that threatened to derail the deal. The conflict has resulted in 3,783 deaths and 11,699 injuries in Lebanon since February 28, 2026, and Trump publicly criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for the airstrikes, which he described as reckless. The deal will now enter a 60-day negotiation phase for final details, with the ceasefire expected to take effect upon signing.
