According to a statement from Iran's official security apparatus, the agreement text prepared between Tehran and Washington has been finalized, and with the lifting of the naval blockade, some ships have begun to pass through.
The statement noted that 8 ships leaving Iran's territorial waters have proceeded through international waters, while 3 ships entered Iranian waters following the lifting of the blockade.
Agreement Text Finalized
The Secretariat of the Supreme National Security Council announced that the agreement text to end the war between Iran and the US was finalized on the evening of June 15. According to the institution, the text was completed with the Council's approval.
The statement added that under the reached consensus, the war and all military operations on all fronts, including Lebanon, have been immediately and permanently ended, and the naval blockade against Iran has been completely lifted.
Signing Date Announced as Friday
According to the institutional statement, the official signing ceremony of the agreement will take place on Friday, June 19. It was stated that Iranian oil tankers and cargo ships will now be able to freely navigate both Iranian territorial waters and international waters.
The same statement argued that the blockade imposed by the US in April came after the failure to impose conditions demanded during Islamabad talks and following defeats on the ground.
The text also claimed that US warships attempted to block and attack tankers trying to break the blockade. Nevertheless, it was noted that the flow of Iranian crude oil has continued to some extent, if not fully.
Mutual Attacks and Tensions in the Persian Gulf
According to the statement, the conflict that began in late February was initiated by the US-Israel coalition launching a war against Iran. It was alleged that during these attacks, senior Iranian military figures and some government officials were targeted.
The statement also mentioned that in response, the Iranian armed forces carried out multiple waves of retaliation against US and Israeli assets in the region and closed the Strait of Hormuz to enemy ships.
