The armed conflict between the United States and Iran that began on February 28, 2026 has officially come to an end following the announcement of a peace agreement that immediately halts all military operations in the Middle East, including Lebanon. The pact includes the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital maritime passage through which approximately 20% of the world's oil supply transited before the conflict.
Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar confirmed that the Swiss city of Geneva will be the venue for the official signing of the agreement, scheduled for Friday, June 19, 2026. Pakistan acted as a key mediator alongside Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey in the negotiations that made this understanding possible.
"We look forward to the formal signing ceremony on June 19 in Geneva," Dar wrote on his X account, describing the agreement as a "significant" breakthrough that "provides much-needed confidence and stability for world markets and the global economy, particularly for developing countries, which are the most vulnerable."
US President Donald Trump announced that the agreement "is now complete" and ordered the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Trump will travel to France to attend the G7 summit in Evian, generating speculation about his possible presence in Geneva for the signing.
Vice President JD Vance called the agreement "a very, very important victory" during a Fox News interview: "This will end the war and could help stabilize a region that has been a total mess my whole life."
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen emphasized that the priority is the "rapid and full implementation" of the agreement and called for a genuine ceasefire in Lebanon: "There cannot be peace in the Middle East while Lebanon is in flames."
French President Emmanuel Macron reported that the Franco-British mission for the Strait of Hormuz is "ready to deploy" and announced he will meet with Trump on the sidelines of the G7.
German Chancellor Johann Wadephul demanded that Iran "no longer pose a threat" and stated that the Strait of Hormuz must return "fully to normal for international navigation."

The war, which lasted more than 100 days, triggered an unprecedented global energy crisis. Strategic oil reserves were depleted: the International Energy Agency released 400 million barrels and Japan released 90 million barrels. Cushing reserves (Oklahoma) fell to 21.6 million barrels, near the critical threshold of 20 million.
Oil-laden vessels remained trapped for more than three months in the Persian Gulf, unable to safely transit the maritime route. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz caused an estimated deficit of 15 million barrels per day.
