US President Donald Trump said a newly agreed US-Iran deal has been signed and that shipping through the Strait of Hormuz is beginning to resume, with the strategic waterway expected to be fully reopened by Friday.
Speaking alongside French President Emmanuel Macron ahead of the G7 Summit in Evian, France, Trump said, “The deal’s all signed” and added that “ships are starting to go out now.” He described the agreement as a significant diplomatic breakthrough and stated that Iran had “fully agreed” not to develop a nuclear weapon under what he called “strong policing powers.”
Trump also said the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz would help ease pressure on global energy markets, arguing that “the oil was really clogged up there for a while.”
Asked whether he would attend a formal signing ceremony expected later this week, Trump said Vice President JD Vance was due to represent the United States, although he could still be involved.
The US president also indicated that Washington may seek further diplomatic engagement on Lebanon, stating that officials would need to have “a little talk with Hezbollah” as part of broader regional efforts.
The comments come after Trump announced a framework agreement with Iran aimed at ending months of conflict, reopening the Strait of Hormuz and establishing restrictions on Iran’s nuclear programme. A formal signing ceremony is expected in Geneva later this week
