The United States and Iran announced a deal to end the war, which has caused serious damage to the region's energy systems and blocked a key shipping route, the Strait of Hormuz. While the deal brings hope for future peace and energy flow, it may take months before oil supplies return to normal and gas prices drop for consumers.
Key Facts
The U.S. and Iran agreed to a truce after over three months of fighting damaging Iranian infrastructure and regional energy facilities.
The Strait of Hormuz, a vital route for about 20% of the world’s oil, remains blocked currently, but reopening is planned after the official signing of the deal on June 19 in Switzerland.
President Donald Trump said the Strait would be reopened without tolls and that oil flow would return to normal once the deal is signed.
Iran stated the U.S. naval blockade would end immediately after the agreement.
Some experts doubt the deal's durability due to unresolved issues, such as frozen Iranian assets and regional conflicts involving Israel and Lebanon.
Oil prices fell below $80 per barrel after the announcement, reflecting hopes of improved supply.
Analysts warn that gas prices may take weeks or months to decrease for everyday drivers due to damaged infrastructure and ongoing risks.
The deal is seen as a step forward but faces challenges related to trust and geopolitical tensions.

President Donald Trump’s new Iran deal aims to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, end conflict, and create a 60-day period for nuclear talks after a ceasefire. The deal changes the situation for Russia’s President Vladimir Putin by reducing the crisis that had made Russia influential, but also giving Putin new strategies related to energy and negotiations.
Key Facts
The Iran deal is expected to be signed in Switzerland after Pakistani mediation.
It aims to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a key passage for about one-fifth of the world’s oil and gas shipments.
The deal creates a 60-day window for nuclear negotiations following a ceasefire and the reopening of the strait.
Iran used control of the strait as leverage to force urgent diplomacy without outright defeating the U.S.
Putin sees lessons in this for Ukraine, hoping for a ceasefire that leaves Russia holding some territory and leads to long negotiations.
The crisis around Iran increased oil prices and gave an economic boost to Russia’s energy companies.
Key Russian figures such as Igor Sechin (Rosneft CEO) and Alexander Novak (deputy prime minister) benefited financially.
The deal may reduce Russia’s short-term advantage but could strengthen its long-term political leverage.

After more than 100 days of disruption, a US-Iran peace deal announced by President Trump aims to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, allowing oil and gas tankers to pass again. While oil prices dropped, experts say it will take months for oil and gas supplies to return to normal levels due to damaged facilities and logistical challenges.
Key Facts
The Strait of Hormuz has been closed or disrupted for over 100 days, affecting global energy supplies.
President Trump confirmed a peace deal with Iran that would lead to reopening the strait.
Brent crude oil prices fell from $126 to around $83 a barrel after the announcement.
The reopening could help avoid the worst economic effects predicted during the crisis.
Oil and gas exports may take until the end of the year or longer to return to pre-crisis levels.
Damage from Iranian drone strikes slowed gas production in Qatar, hurting global LNG supplies.
Restarting oilfields in Iraq and Kuwait will also delay full recovery of Gulf oil exports.
Safe passage for tankers depends on mine removal, insurance availability, and repair of production facilities.

Former President Barack Obama expressed doubt that the new deal between the U.S. and Iran would be much different from the 2015 nuclear agreement his administration made. The deal, announced by President Trump, aims to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the U.S. naval blockade, but details are still unclear.
