Representación visual de un acuerdo de paz internacional: manos firmando un documento sobre una mesa de conferencias con banderas de Estados Unidos e Irán a ambos lados, ambiente diplomático formal con luz natural
U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Saturday, June 13, that the peace agreement with Iran will be signed on Sunday, June 14, through a virtual meeting with Pakistani and Qatari mediators. "The deal will be signed tomorrow, and immediately after its signing, the Strait of Hormuz will be OPEN FOR ALL," the president declared on his social media platform Truth Social.
The electronic signing would end the war that began on February 28, 2026 by the United States and Israel against Iran—a conflict that has resulted in more than 3,700 deaths in Lebanon according to verified data, and triggered a global energy crisis due to the blockade of the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
| Aspect | Details |
|---|---|
| Ceasefire | Extension for an additional 60 days |
| Strait of Hormuz | Immediate reopening after signing |
| Nuclear Program | Iran renounces nuclear ambitions |
| Enriched Uranium | U.S. will access it for destruction |
| Compensations | No monetary exchange involved |
| Signing Format | Virtual/electronic |
The agreement is the result of nearly three months of intense negotiations facilitated by Pakistan, Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey. Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif confirmed that his country is "prepared for the electronic signing of the peace agreement, followed by technical-level discussions next week."
According to Axios, citing sources familiar with the process, the signing will be conducted electronically during a virtual meeting for logistical reasons, with representatives from the United States, Iran, and the mediating countries participating.
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most important waterways: approximately 20% of global oil transited through it before the conflict. Its blockade caused Brent crude oil prices to reach critical levels, affecting global economies.
With the announced reopening, energy markets are expected to stabilize. Brent crude already registered a drop of 2.3% to USD 88.27 per barrel, while WTI fell 2.2% to USD 85.81 on June 12.
The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow waterway between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. At its narrowest point, it is only 21 nautical miles (about 39 kilometers) wide. This strategic passage is critical because it serves as the only sea passage from the Persian Gulf to the open ocean, making it vital for oil-exporting countries like Saudi Arabia, Iran, the UAE, Kuwait, and Iraq.
For readers unfamiliar with Middle Eastern geopolitics, the strait has historically been a chokepoint where Iran has threatened to block traffic during times of tension. A closure would force oil tankers to take longer, more expensive routes, significantly impacting global fuel prices.
The U.S. president was emphatic in his message: "They no longer want a nuclear weapon, nor will they have one—neither through purchase, development, nor any other form of acquisition." Trump emphasized that the agreement does not include economic compensations for Iran and will allow the United States to access enriched uranium for its destruction.
"We look forward to working with Iran and the entire Middle East for many years. Hopefully this process will unfold quickly, smoothly, and without setbacks."
Although Trump and Pakistan confirmed the signing for Sunday, the Iranian Foreign Ministry initially ruled out that the signing would take place that day, while leaving open the possibility that it could occur in the coming days. This discrepancy maintains some uncertainty about the exact timeline.
Israel, for its part, warned that it could act independently if it considers its security interests are not guaranteed, adding a risk factor to the agreement's implementation.
Trump will travel on Monday to France to participate in the G7 summit, where he will meet with leaders from Egypt, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates to address the post-agreement situation. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was also invited but will not be able to attend due to scheduling conflicts. The presence of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is not expected.
The conflict, which began on February 28, 2026, represented one of the most tense moments in relations between the West and Iran, with global geopolitical and economic implications that now seek resolution through this historic agreement.
