## Summary

On 17 June 2026, US President Trump and Iranian President Pezeshkian electronically
signed a 14-point memorandum extending their ceasefire by 60 days, after a war that
began in late February. A senior US official said the deal halts fighting on all fronts
including Lebanon, lifts the naval blockade, reopens the [Strait of Hormuz](/es/entity/strait-of-hormuz), and opens
talks on Iran's nuclear program, sanctions relief, unfreezing assets and a ~$300bn
reconstruction plan. Iran reaffirmed it would not pursue nuclear weapons but has not
confirmed the US text. Tehran alleges Israeli operations in Lebanon violate the truce;
Israel says it is not bound by the deal.

## Why it matters

Reopening Hormuz unwinds the [largest oil supply disruption on record](/es/n/hormuz-oil-supply-shock) and the global oil-supply risk,
but a fragile Lebanon truce keeps a wider war one incident away. This is the hinge the
energy, freight and sanctions stories all turn on.
