What happened
President Donald Trump announced a deal with Iran on June 13, 2026, which established a framework to end Operation Epic Fury, a war that began on February 28. The memorandum of understanding calls for an immediate cessation of hostilities between the United States, Iran, and other regional players, including the Gulf States, Israel, and Hezbollah. The agreement also includes the intended opening of the Strait of Hormuz and the lifting of the US naval blockade.
Why it matters
The potential opening of the Strait of Hormuz, which is a major oil exporting route, could significantly impact the world’s economy. The agreement sets up a 60-day negotiation period to address Iran’s nuclear ambitions and sanctions relief. However, some voters expressed concern that the conflict with Iran had increased expenses for Americans without achieving lasting results.
