“The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete. Congratulations to all!” Trump said, adding that he had authorized the “toll-free opening” of the Strait of Hormuz and the end of a U.S. military blockade on Iranian ports.

“Ships of the world, start your engines.”

There was no immediate confirmation of the deal from Iran, although the Times of Israel reported that Iran’s deputy foreign minister Kazem Gharibabadi had said through their diplomatic mission in India that an “immediate and permanent end of the war” would be announced starting Sunday night.

Signing ceremony set for Friday

Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif also said on social media that both sides had declared “termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon.”

Sharif said an official signing ceremony was scheduled for Friday in Switzerland, while talks between mediators would continue until then.

As well, “detailed discussions” on Iran’s nuclear program were to begin in the wake of the deal, Fox News reported.

The breakthrough came after Trump said a deal to end the fighting between the nations was “very close,” despite an Israeli attack in Lebanon — where Israel has been exchanging strikes with the Iran-back militant group Hamas — that threatened to upend negotiations.

“The deal reportedly fails to achieve any of the goals of the war that were set out by the U.S. and Israel, including eliminating Iran’s nuclear weapons program, depleting its ballistic missile stockpile, ending its support for terror proxies and creating the conditions for the fall of the regime,” the outlet reported.
