US-Iran Ceasefire: Trump Announces Deal, Israel Stays Out | ISH News

In a major development, the US and Iran have reportedly agreed to a peace deal that could lead to the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most important oil shipping routes. US President Donald Trump announced that the deal was "complete" and authorised the reopening of the Strait, while Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif also confirmed that an agreement had been reached. Reports suggest US and Iranian representatives may formally sign the deal in Switzerland on 19 June, followed by 60 days of negotiations on key issues, including Iran's nuclear programme. The proposed agreement includes an immediate ceasefire, reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, easing of oil sanctions on Iran, access to $24 billion in frozen Iranian assets, reduction of US military presence near Iran, and continued nuclear talks. However, there is a major challenge — Israel is not part of the agreement. Israel has continued airstrikes in Lebanon and has clearly stated it will not withdraw from southern Lebanon, where Iran-backed Hezbollah remains active. This has raised serious doubts about whether the deal can succeed. Political factors may also be playing a role. With US mid-term elections due in November 2026 and Israeli elections expected in October, both Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu face domestic political pressure. Experts remain cautious, especially because Trump has repeatedly announced the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz in previous months, but those claims did not materialise. With fighting continuing in Lebanon, only time will tell whether this peace deal leads to lasting stability or becomes another failed attempt at peace. #USIranDeal #StraitOfHormuz #DonaldTrump #Iran #Israel #Lebanon #Hezbollah #MiddleEast #Ceasefire ISH News broadcasts the Daily News and Entertainment online in Deaf-friendly accessible formats which are in Indian Sign Language (ISL), visual images with titles, voice-over and closed-captions.
