Trump says Iran peace deal is signed; Full text to be made public soon

U.S. President Donald Trump announced Monday that the United States and Iran have signed a memorandum of understanding intended to halt the conflict in the Persian Gulf. The announcement immediately prompted demands from political opponents for the immediate release of the document’s text.

​Speaking shortly after arriving in France for the G7 summit, Trump revealed that the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz has already partially reopened following a crippling three-month maritime blockade. “The deal’s all signed,” Trump stated, praising the breakthrough.

​While the preliminary agreement is in place, an official signing ceremony is scheduled for Friday, June 19, in Geneva, Switzerland.
