The U.S.-Iran ceasefire agreement, which included a parallel cessation of hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, remained in effect through Wednesday, June 17, 2026. President Trump announced Sunday that “The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete,” authorizing the opening of the Strait of Hormuz and the removal of the U.S. naval blockade.
The ceasefire held despite significant implementation friction. Iran’s foreign minister stated that any continued Israeli occupation of Lebanese territory would constitute a violation of the memorandum of understanding, while Israeli officials countered that the deal did not bind them. Despite these disputes, no major renewed hostilities were reported through Wednesday.
The 14-point memorandum of understanding, expected to be formally signed on Friday, gives both parties 60 days to resolve the status of Iran’s highly enriched uranium stockpile and nuclear program. The deal represented a significant diplomatic milestone after months of conflict that disrupted global energy markets. About 66 percent of Predict Six participants correctly forecast the ceasefire would hold through Wednesday.
