Iran…Trump…Conflict/War…Evening… June 14, 2026…Part 2….Who Win’s?

Mr. Trump said that the deal would reopen the Strait of Hormuz, an economically vital waterway, and that he had authorized “the immediate removal of the United States Naval blockade” on Iranian ports.

“Ships of the World, start your engines,” he wrote. “Let the oil flow!”

The agreement will be signed on Friday. Iran and Pakistan, a mediator, said it would take place in Geneva .

The text of the agreement was not immediately released. But Mr. Trump’s post aligned with what American and Iranian officials had previously said an initial agreement might contain. The deal would include a 60-day cease-fire, the officials said.

Each side sought to portray the agreement as a diplomatic victory after nearly four months of war. But some of the thorniest issues — including the fate of Iran’s nuclear program, and sanctions relief for Tehran — remain unresolved and have been pushed to a further round of negotiations.

In a statement, Supreme National Security Council’s said the agreement called for an immediate end to military operations on all fronts, including Lebanon, where Israel and the Iranian-backed militant group Hezbollah are fighting. Israel, which was not a party to the U.S.-Iran negotiations, has not yet commented on the agreement.

An agreement appeared at risk earlier in the day after Israel bombed the southern suburbs of Beirut in retaliation for rocket fire from Hezbollah. An angry Mr. Trump said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel had shown “no judgment” in ordering those strikes and called on all sides to “stand down.”

A last-minute flurry of negotiations, led by Qatar, eased the tensions, and the final agreement appeared to come together late in the night in Tehran. Iran held off agreeing until the early hours of Monday there, allowing it to claim it had not signed on Mr. Trump’s birthday, on Sunday, as he had wanted, according to two Iranian officials who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Major questions remain unanswered.

One concerns the fate of Iran’s nuclear program, over which neither country has shown much willingness to compromise. Officials previously said both sides would hold detailed negotiations over the program, as well as over the lifting of U.S. sanctions on Iran, during the 60-day cease-fire.

Lebanon may prove to be another stumbling block. Any deal that includes the conflict there would depend on both the United States being able to compel Israel to wind down its military campaign and Iran’s cooperation in restraining Hezbollah.

Here’s what else we’re covering:

• Trump calls The Times: In a 28-minute phone conversation that he initiated from the White House residence, and a brief follow-up call, the president asserted that his decision to attack Iran in late February, and his subsequent naval blockade of its ports, had remade the Middle East in America’s favor and saved Israel from nuclear obliteration.

• Markets react: Oil prices fell on Sunday after Mr. Trump said the United States had reached a deal with Iran that would allow the “toll free” passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz. Futures on the S&P 500 pointed to a modest rise in stocks when U.S. trading resumes on Monday. Read more ›

• Opposition in Israel: Details about the agreement before it was announced surfaced in news media reports, prompting a flood of criticism and discontent from Israelis spanning the country’s political spectrum. Read more ›

• Lebanon: The Israeli strike in Beirut’s southern suburbs earlier Sunday created concern that the peace negotiations could collapse if Iran and Israel resumed trading fire. Instead, it accelerated the completion of the final text, according to two Israeli officials. But the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah could still complicate a more lasting peace deal.

  The Guardian….

• A deal between the US and Iran has reportedly been reached. The agreement was first announced by Shehbaz Sharif, the prime minister of Pakistan who has been acting as a mediator. Minutes later, Donald Trumpconfirmed the deal, writing: “The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete.”

• Iran’s Fars News agency reported that an official statement from Iran’s supreme national security council will be issued later tonight regarding the ceasefire agreement with the US.

• Earlier on Sunday, the Israeli military launched strikes on Beirut it claimed were targeting Hezbollah infrastructure. Lebanon civil defense says three people were killed in the strikes.

• Iran’s highest national security body warned later that a response was “imminent” following the Israeli strike. Iran’s foreign ministry said that it holds the US directly responsible for Israel’s ceasefire breaches in Lebanon.

• Iran’s state broadcaster said that flights at airports in the west of the country are cancelled, after Tehran warned it would respond to an Israeli attack on Beirut.

• In an earlier Truth Social post, Trump criticized the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, for launching the attack as Washington and Tehran were in the midst of negotiating the deal. “Why did Bibi [Netanyahu] have to do a fucking attack?” Trump told Axios. “I was so pissed off. I let him know. He has no fucking judgement. I let him know that.” Trump added that he asked Iran not to respond against the Israeli strikes…..

ISW…Iran Update Special Report, June 14, 2026

1. The United States and Iran reached an agreement on June 14 that apparently calls for a ceasefire on all fronts, Iran to “open” the Strait of Hormuz, and the United States to lift its naval blockade on Iranian ports. The United States and Iran will sign the agreement in Geneva on June 19.
2. The exact terms of the MoU are not publicly available as of this writing, which makes it difficult to assess how Iran views the agreement in terms of achieving Iranian objectives. Iranian officials have not yet commented on whether Iran would re-open the strait without tolls. It is not clear if a “toll-free” and “open” strait means that Iran retains any of its management functions over the strait. Iran has repeatedly emphasized that the strait is under Iranian control and that the strait is part of Iran’s broader deterrence strategy.
3. An Israeli attack in southern Beirut prompted a flurry of diplomatic efforts to reach an agreement amid Iranian threats that it would respond by attacking Israel. Several Iranian military and security officials warned on June 14 that Iran would respond to the Israeli attack. Three Iranian officials said that Iran called off a planned attack on Israel after Trump urged restraint.
