After 106 days of Operation Epic Fury, which saw the United States military engage in military action against the Islamic Republic of Iran, President Donald Trump announced in the afternoon of Sunday, June 14, that a deal had been reached.
“The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Congratulations to all!”
With this announcement, Trump also shared that the Strait of Hormuz is officially open, saying, “Ships of the World, start your engines. Let the oil flow!”
