A US-Iran deal aimed at ending the Middle East war will be signed at Switzerland’s mountainside Burgenstock resort on Friday, the Swiss foreign ministry said.
Tehran and Washington announced Sunday they had agreed a memorandum of understanding aimed at ending the conflict, which broke out on February 28 with US-Israeli strikes on Iran and engulfed the Middle East.
“At this stage, the signing is scheduled for Friday, June 19, at Burgenstock,” Switzerland’s foreign ministry said in a statement.
Hundreds of Stanford University graduates staged a walkout during commencement ceremonies over the weekend, openly protesting Google CEO Sundar Pichai as he prepared to deliver the school’s keynote address.
The demonstration highlighted growing hostility toward major technology companies on college campuses, where students have increasingly targeted tech executives over issues ranging from artificial intelligence to military contracts and foreign policy.
US-Iran War LIVE Updates: Protests erupted in Iran after a memorandum of understanding was reached with the US to bring peace to the Middle East region, with people calling Iranian leaders Abbas Araghchi and Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf “compromisers”.
Trump said the deal will be signed by the two sides on Friday in Geneva, after which the Strait of Hormuz will be opened and operated without fees. “Ships are starting to move, many loaded up with Oil, out of the Strait of Hormuz,” Trump said, adding later that he did not “think we will need much help” keeping the waterway open. Iran has continued to voice its lack of trust in Washington. Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said a “final agreement” will be reached within two months, deliberations over which will include aspects like the nuclear programme and Tehran’s $25 billion frozen assets.
The deal has brought differences between the US and Israel out in the open, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying Israeli troops would remain in Lebanon, Gaza, and Syria for “as long as necessary”. He said that the military campaign against Iran had spared his country from the threat of “nuclear annihilation”. He pledged that Iran would never be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons, regardless of the terms of any agreement.
JERUSALEM — A “catastrophe.” A “bad deal.” An agreement that “throws a lifeline to the murderous regime in Tehran.”
Among Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s supporters and critics alike, in the media and on social media, the mood was clear as Israelis woke up Monday to news of a peace agreement between the United States and Iran: President Donald Trump’s deal is not one that many in Israel like. Iran, they say, will remain a threat.

US and Iranian officials said they had agreed on a framework to end their war.
A $300 billion private fund designed to trigger investment into Iran is outlined in the US-Iran framework agreement.
The fund will not be created or become operational until a final and satisfactory deal is concluded.

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.
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.
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.
President Trump has promised another peace deal is close to completion with Iran. He assures us the deal offers no nuclear armed options for Iran, who, so far, has not officially agreed to the deal. The President claims a deal should be done by the end of the weekend.
The imminent deal ensuring Iran will never have a nuclear weapon was “the whole purpose” of the war, President Donald Trump explained Thursday at a press briefing announcing that a peace agreement will likely be officially signed in the next few days.
“Just had a big day,” Pres. Trump told reporters, noting that the deal is “subject to finalization of documents” at a signing ceremony expected to take place in Europe, perhaps over the upcoming weekend.
The signing will immediately trigger the end to the U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, the president said:
“The strait will officially open as soon as we sign, which could be soon, very soon, maybe, over the weekend, in Europe. I won’t be able to be there, but J.D. will be there, the vice president, and some other people.”
U.S. forces have completed a new round of strikes inside Iran, according to U.S. Central Command.
Harder! Faster!
The nerve center of Iran’s most powerful military force just went dark.
U.S. forces have struck and destroyed an IRGC command and control center, hitting Iranian surveillance, communications, and air defense sites across Iran in response to the regime’s downing of a U.S.
Still short of a full-scale resumption of hostilities. Iran International: Donald Trump said 49 Tomahawk missiles had been fired at Iran as he oversaw ongoing US military strikes from the Situation Room, according to Fox News. Trump said the strikes also involved fighter jet bombardment, with the closest target around 40 miles from Tehran. Trump said the bombing would stop shortly but warned that if Iran does not sign a deal, the United States would escalate further attacks (Iran). Wall Street Journal: U.S. military forces were striking air defenses and radar sites near the Strait of Hormuz, a senior U.S. official said. No infrastructure sites were hit, the official said. Iranian state media reported explosions in areas along the Strait of Hormuz, including Bandar Abbas, Qeshm Island and Sirik, and said its air defenses were engaging with U.S. jet fighters. The Pentagon cast the attacks as an act of coercive diplomacy designed to force Iranian concessions at the negotiating table (Wall Street Journal). Noah Rothman: This is the strait opening operation that has been overdue since mid-April (Rothman).
To those of you who did not trust Trump.
The main office of IRGC has been hit hard.
Many leaders dead.
You are witnessing regime change.
Have some faith and stop criticizing the only man who ever helped the people of Iran and supported Israel.

It looks like the war with Iran is nearing a swift and final end!
From the Oval Office, President Trump just announced that a “great settlement” has been reached with Iran.
Next, Vice President JD Vance will likely travel to Europe, where the deal could be signed as soon as this weekend.

“A big day. I know you’ll never be satisfied, but that’s okay. It doesn’t bother me at all. We just made a great settlement of the war with Iran, and we’re going to be subject to finalization of documents.”
“We should get done over the next few days. Probably have a signing maybe in Europe, and it’s a great thing.”
President Donald Trump said U.S. forces will hit Iran “VERY HARD TONIGHT” afterIran launched waves of attacks against U.S. bases across the Middle East early Thursday, raising fears that the escalating exchange will bring renewed combat to the region.
Efforts to secure a broader peace agreement between the United States and Iran have reportedly hit a significant obstacle after Tehran demanded access to $24 billion in frozen assets before negotiations can move forward.
The demand has emerged as one of the biggest sticking points in ongoing talks aimed at formalizing a ceasefire and reducing tensions following months of regional conflict.
According to reports, Iranian officials are insisting that billions of dollars in frozen funds be released as a prerequisite for any meaningful progress in negotiations.

“Iran reserves the right to attack all facilities related to holdings managed by Musk in the region.”
President Donald Trump’s ongoing war with Iran is draining America’s emergency supply of crude oil — which is just days away from hitting its lowest level in more than 40 years, according to a report Wednesday.
Since March, Trump has tapped 66 million gallons of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to keep exports flowing and prevent Americans from seeing their price at the pumps reach new heights, Fortune said.
The reserve dipped to a 3-year low of 349.2 million barrels on June 5 and is being depleted at a rate of nearly 9 million barrels a week.
Iran Announces Closure Of Hormuz After US Attacks– www.ndtv.com News Source
EXCERPT:
Iran’s military command said Thursday it will target any ship transiting the Strait of Hormuz, after it struck two vessels attempting to pass through the strategic waterway, as talks to end the war faltered.
The United States launched a new wave of attacks against Iran on Wednesday, with President Donald Trump vowing to “hit them hard” after accusing Tehran’s negotiators of “playing us for suckers”.
The Khatam al-Anbiya command said Thursday, “any vessel traffic through the Strait of Hormuz will be targeted” adding that the strait is now “completely closed to all types of vessel”, according to the Tasnim news agency.
Three Indian mariners aboard the Palau-flagged M/T Settebello were killed on Tuesday night when the United States Navy fired on the vessel for ignoring the U.S. blockade on Iran. As the Washington Examiner previously reported, the Navy fired precision strikes at the engine room of the Settebello to disable the vessel. The incident occurred as the U.S. conducted self-defense strikes against Iran for deploying a drone that took down a U.S. Army Apache helicopter on Monday.
Sarbananda Sonowal, India’s minister of ports, shipping, and waterways, announced the casualties in a social media post on X early Thursday morning.
“It is deeply unfortunate to learn of the tragic incident aboard the Palau-flagged MT Settebello,” said Sonowal. “Sadly, three Indian seafarers initially reported missing are now confirmed dead after bodies have been located and identified.”

US Central Command, the US military combat command responsible for Middle East operations, followed up by launching what its press release described as “self-defense strikes against Iran, June 9, at the Commander in Chief’s direction in response to yesterday’s downing of a US Army Apache helicopter.”
The U.S. has announced it has secretly navigated more than 100 million barrels of oil through the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump announced, “… More than 200 Commercial Ships have safely traveled through the Strait. This wildly successful effort is because the UNITED STATES of AMERICA CONTROLS the Strait of Hormuz — NOT Iran. Their military is defeated, and their economy is lost. It’s over for Iran!

President Trump is putting Iran on notice after Tehran dragged out negotiations and the region lurched into another round of strikes.
The warning came after an American Apache helicopter was downed near the Strait of Hormuz, according to the New York Post.
Trump’s message was blunt: Iran waited too long.
Iran’s Military is a complete and total mess. Much of it, like their Navy and Air Force, doesn’t even exist anymore – They have been completely defeated. Iran is all talk and no action.

Iran says it has launched a missile attack at an airbase in Jordan hosting US forces, after also targeting Kuwait and Bahrain. The Revolutionary Guards said missiles have targeted the Muwaffaq Salti airbase, which is known to host US F-35 fighter jets and other aircraft.
Neither Jordan nor the US has acknowledged any attack, but if confirmed it would likely be the first time that Iran has targeted Jordan since the start of the ceasefire in April.
The US strikes on Iran followed the downing of a US Apache helicopter over the strait of Hormuz, from which two crew members were rescued in a stable condition. In a post on social media Trump said the US “must” respond to the helicopter crash.
Here is the latest:
The US launched multiple waves of strikes on Iran in response to a military helicopter crash off the strait of Hormuz that Donald Trump said Iran had downed. The Associated Press reported that the Apache helicopter that crashed went down after colliding with an Iranian drone, but it was not clear whether the collision was intentional.
US strikes were reported across Iran’s southern coast, on the strait of Hormuz. After more than three hours of military action, US central command (Centcom) said strikes were “completed”, adding that the US remained ready to defend against “unjustified Iranian aggression.”
Soon after, Iran launched retaliatory attacks against the US, according to the countries state media, which said American bases in the region and the US fifth fleet in Bahrain were targeted with drones. Kuwait and Bahrain issued air raid alerts and reported that air defences were active in repelling attacks. Iran also claimed it had targeted a US base in Jordan with long range missiles.
Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, said no attack would go “unanswered”, soon after the US launched strikes on Iran. Posting an image of the strait of Hormuz with the label, “Forever Persian Gulf”, Araghchi says that “despite its defeats on the battlefield, the U.S. opted to test our determination.”
Five hours before the airstrikes, Trump had posted on social media that the US “must” respond to the helicopter crash, from which two crew members were rescued in stable condition. Before his social media post, however, Trump appeared to downplay the crash, telling the Wall Street Journal in a phone interview that it “wasn’t a big deal” and that “the pilot is fine.”
Iranian state media reported that no air military operations have taken place in the strait of Hormuz over the past 24 hours, according to Reuters.
Lebanon’s health ministry said 11 people were killed in Israeli airstrikes on the southern city of Tyre on Tuesday. The state-run National News Agency (NNA) had reported the first strike taking place not long before Israel’s military issued an evacuation warning for the entire city and surrounding areas ahead of strikes there.
After weeks in which President Donald Trump has expressed cautious optimism about peace talks with Iran, the United States retaliated against an Iranian downing of an American aircraft, raising questions about the administration’s Iran exit plan and how it will work with Congress going forward.
On Tuesday, the United States struck Iran in retaliation for the downing of an Army Apache helicopter. U.S. Central Command described the “self-defense strikes” as “a proportional response to unjustified Iranian aggression.”
Trump tied the strike into Iran’s hesitancy to accept American peace offers.
