Shehbaz Sharif announces US–Iran peace deal on Strait of Hormuz, later confirmed by President Trump

Pakistan Prime Minister **Shehbaz Sharif** first publicly announced that the United States and Iran had reached a peace deal ending military operations around the Strait of Hormuz.[2] Shortly afterwards, US President Donald Trump confirmed the agreement, declaring the deal complete and announcing the reopening of the strategic waterway and removal of the US naval blockade.[2] The formal signing of the accord is scheduled in Switzerland on June 19.[2] The deal is expected to de-escalate tensions in a region critical for global oil shipments and maritime trade. It may also reduce insurance costs and security risks for commercial shipping lines. For India, stability in the Strait of Hormuz is vital due to heavy dependence on energy imports passing through this chokepoint. The agreement may thus have significant economic and strategic implications worldwide.
