Iran agrees not to build a nuke, will reopen Strait of Hormuz — and US to release $25B in assets in Trump peace deal: Tehran
The New York Post ^ | 06/14/2026 | Anthony Blair

Iran has agreed not to build a nuclear weapon and to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, in return the US will release some $25 billion in frozen assets as part of a President Trump-brokered peace deal, according to details released by Tehran on Sunday.

Washington and Tehran are expected to electronically sign a memorandum of understanding on Sunday following a virtual meeting, which will set the table for negotiations over a longer-term deal on Iran’s nuclear program, Axios reported.

On Saturday, US President Donald Trump and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said a deal would be signed on Sunday and would immediately result in the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, the crucial chokepoint through which a fifth of the world’s oil supplies flow.

Iranian officials were cautiously optimistic that a deal to finally halt the conflict which has raged for three and a half months, throwing world markets into chaos, was on the horizon. *** The deal, which would see $25 billion in Iranian assets unfrozen by the US, does not solve all issues between Tehran and Washington, but offers a 60-day framework for technical discussions on the issues, according to officials from Pakistan.

The US would also end its blockade of Iranian-linked ships coming out of the strait. *** Shipping traffic through the narrow sea passage — through which 20% of the world’s oil flowed before the war — has slowed to a trickle.

Qatari negotiators flew into Tehran Sunday morning in coordination with the US to help facilitate the finalizing of the agreement, an official told the New York Times.

A signing ceremony was reportedly expected for the coming days in Geneva, Switzerland, where US and Iranian negotiators met for talks in February before the start of the war. ***

So we get back to the status quo on the Strait of Hormuz, the regime stays in power, and we give them $25B in exchange for promising not to build nukes. What is this, Obama II?

How about purchasing a nuke? How about closing the Strait after they have re-opened it? To hell with giving them that money. What the heck is your problem, Trump?

It’s not our money jerkwad. We know you have been rooting for Iran and against Trump, but he won. Get over yourself and move to Russia or Iran loser.

Let me step in the garage. The release should be YUGELY specific to meeting certain milestones AFTER they are demonstrated. Before that....$0.00.

America won, get over it. It was their frozen cash from selling oil and it is not all of it yet. You people are disgusting.

Israel, the U.S., the people of Iran, and all the rest of the Persian Gulf states would benefit immeasurably from a regime change in Iran. And you’re throwing that away for a promise? Who is the stupid one?

This was reported by Iran, not by us. I'll wait to see what Trump and Rubio actually have to say about the deal before making any judgments. But Iran's agreement not to build a nuke is worthless. They committed to not building nukes in Obama's deal and were rewarded with billions then. What's different now is we and the Israelis actually bombed them, decimated their military and civilian leadership and severely degraded their ability to bring nukes to production.

The FReyores are out lying and spinning to make Trump look bad when gas is going to be under $3 by July 4th. What does it take to hate someone so much for making America stronger.

This should have been done 20 years ago and you show why nobody was willing to take you scumbag America haters on.

You, no matter what you will hate him. This is a yuge victory. When are all of you sending back your Trump tax cuts to show you really hate him.

Bunch of NeverTrump losers.

There will be inspectors with this deal. I know you hate him and will say whatever it takes to make this look bad but opening the Strait proves they are serious.

The status quo for Hormuz was Iran attacking/harassing/boarding ships randomly for years before this year’s Iran War. If they quit doing that it’s a gain. The key word of course is “if”.

The article says the Strait would be opened immediately. It seems less clear on when the Iranian money would be released.

This has waffled back and forth so much I’ll read the deal when one’s actually signed.

All the purported “deals” that have been written about so far are a joke because no enforcement mechanism has been published.
