The United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran have announced the finalization of an agreement to end the conflict and reopen the Strait of Hormuz after three months of intermittent negotiations, threats, and denials.
President Donald Trump has landed in France ahead of the G7 summit, following the announcement of a U.S.-Iran deal aimed at ending hostilities, with ships beginning to move freely through the Strait of Hormuz. Vice President JD Vance confirmed the agreement was signed electronically over the weekend, and the full text is expected to be released soon.
The Joint Maritime Information Center, a multinational organization established in 2024 by the Combined Maritime Forces, announced on the X network that the maritime security threat level in the Strait of Hormuz remains "severe." The center's mission is to connect the commercial shipping industry with naval forces in the Middle East.
The U.S. military announced on Monday that the blockade of Iran's ports will remain in effect until a ceasefire agreement is completed, scheduled for June 19. The warning instructs all parties to refrain from attempting to pass through the blocked ports until further notice.
