There have been so many claims about the Iran War ending that it's hard to believe this one. After the April ceasefire, the United States and Iran repeatedly claimed that a full peace deal was around the corner, only to continue firing in hopes of better terms. But that cycle might actually be over for real now.
U.S. President Donald Trump, the Supreme National Security Council of Iran, and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif (who was mediating) all confirmed on Sunday night that the parties had agreed to a memorandum of understanding to move forward with the peace process. The U.S. will immediately lift its blockade of Iranian ports, Iran will begin clearing mines from the Strait of Hormuz, and, after a signing ceremony on Friday, the countries will begin negotiations for a permanent peace deal.
