The United States and Iran announce and sign a memorandum of understanding intended to end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Multiple outlets report that the agreement is framed as an interim step that begins immediately, with the Strait of Hormuz reopening identified as an early priority. NBC and others say President Donald Trump and Iranian officials are involved, with a signing process completed electronically and a further signing ceremony expected later. Euronews and ABC Australia report that the deal extends beyond the shipping corridor, with references to ending fighting “on all fronts,” including the conflict in Lebanon, though many details remain limited in early reporting.

The Korea Times reports more specific provisions from the released text, including “immediate and permanent” cessation of military operations on all fronts and a commitment to negotiate a final arrangement within 60 days. It also says the memorandum includes a 60-day period of safe, no-charge transit through the Strait of Hormuz. Several sources note that the agreement also includes language connected to Iran’s nuclear program, including a reaffirmation that Iran will not seek or develop nuclear weapons. European leaders are also cited as urging safeguards to ensure Iran does not acquire nuclear weapons.
