DAY 109 — US-IRAN DEAL VIRTUALLY SIGNED: TRUMP AND VANCE VIRTUALLY SIGN, IRAN PARLIAMENT SPEAKER GHALIBAF SIGNS FOR TEHRAN (SENIOR US OFFICIAL) — TRUMP AT G7 (ÉVIAN, WITH MACRON): “THE DEAL’S ALL SIGNED” AND THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ IS “ALREADY PARTIALLY OPENED,” TO BE “COMPLETELY OPENED BY FRIDAY”; MOU DETAILS PUBLIC “SOMETIME AFTER FRIDAY” — US NAVAL BLOCKADE LIFTING, PRIORITY TO HEAVY OIL/GAS TANKERS, GOAL PRE-WAR SHIPPING LEVELS — MARKETS SOAR: S&P +1.9%, OIL DOWN ~5% / OVER $4/BBL — IRAN SUPREME NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL CONFIRMS — ISRAEL: NO STRIKES IF HEZBOLLAH HOLDS BUT NO WITHDRAWAL FROM LEBANON — CRITICAL ISSUES DEFERRED TO 60-DAY TALKS; FORMAL CEREMONY FRIDAY JUNE 19 IN SWITZERLAND

JUNE 15 (DAY 109) — US-Iran Deal VIRTUALLY SIGNED (Trump, Vance + Iran’s Ghalibaf); Trump at G7: “The Deal’s All Signed,” Strait of Hormuz “Already Partially Opened,” Full Reopening by Friday; Markets Soar — Oil Drops ~5%, S&P +1.9%; Israel Signals No Strikes if Hezbollah Holds but Won’t Withdraw From Lebanon; Critical Issues Deferred to 60-Day Talks

On June 15, 2026 (Day 109 of the Iran-Israel-US war, Operation Epic Fury / Monday), the deal announced the day before moved into implementation: it was virtually signed and the Strait of Hormuz began partially reopening, though the formal ceremony remained set for Friday. THE SIGNING: President Trump and Vice President JD Vance both virtually signed the agreement to end the US naval blockade of Iranian ports, reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and start 60 days of nuclear negotiations, while Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf signed the document for the Iranian side, a senior US official told CNN. THE G7: at the G7 summit in Évian-les-Bains, France, meeting with President Macron, Trump said “the deal’s all signed” and that the memorandum’s details would be made public “sometime after Friday… in the very near future” (NPR). HORMUZ: Trump said the strait was “already partially opened” and would be “completely opened by Friday” (Tribune/ANI, CNN, PBS); officials said the aim is to restore shipping to pre-war levels, prioritizing heavy oil and gas tankers, as the US naval blockade lifts. MARKETS: global markets soared — the S&P 500 rose about 1.9% and oil fell nearly 5% (more than $4 a barrel) on the prospect of restored Hormuz shipping (NPR, NBC). IRAN: the Supreme National Security Council confirmed the deal had been reached after a “difficult and intensive period of negotiations lasting several months” (NPR). WHAT IS SUPPOSED TO FOLLOW IMMEDIATELY, per the framework: an end to the sporadic attacks that had continued despite the ceasefire, a halt to Israel-Hezbollah fighting in Lebanon, and the lifting of the dueling Hormuz blockades — although the deal explicitly left critical issues (enrichment, sanctions detail, reconstruction) to the 60-day talks, and “details and key questions remain murky” ahead of the official signing (PBS, NPR). ISRAEL: senior IDF officials indicated there would be “zero attacks anywhere in Lebanon” provided Hezbollah also kept the ceasefire — a shift from the April 7 posture — but Israel reaffirmed it would not withdraw its forces from Lebanon (Jerusalem Post). DOMESTIC: Senator Chris Murphy called the agreement “a surrender to Iran” while adding “it’s good that we’re surrendering,” and Republican Representative Brian Mast said he would rather the US not release billions in frozen funds to Iran (CNN). A moment of the war’s human cost surfaced at the FIFA World Cup in Los Angeles, where fans at Iran’s match unfurled a sign memorializing 168 children reported killed in a February US strike on a school in Minab — an image amplified by Iranian state broadcaster IRIB (CNN; casualty figure Iranian-state-amplified). Net assessment: Day 109 advances the deal from “reached” to “virtually signed” with Hormuz partially reopening and markets pricing the end of the energy shock, but the formal signing, the public text, the funds-sequencing dispute, and the Israel-Lebanon questions all remain open ahead of Friday.

Senior IDF officials told the Jerusalem Post there would be “zero attacks anywhere in Lebanon” — not just in Beirut — following the deal, provided Hezbollah also kept the ceasefire, a shift from the April 7 temporary ceasefire under which Israel had continued strikes on Hezbollah fighters in areas it controlled in southern Lebanon. Israel nonetheless reaffirmed it would not withdraw its forces from Lebanon, preserving the structural gap between a conditional ceasefire and a settlement.

Strategic Assessment

Day 109 converts the Day 108 announcement into motion: a virtual signing by Trump, Vance, and Iran’s Ghalibaf, and a Strait of Hormuz that Trump says is “already partially opened.” The market reaction — S&P +1.9%, oil down nearly 5% — is the cleanest real-world confirmation that the energy shock is unwinding, independent of any party’s rhetoric: capital is pricing restored shipping through the chokepoint that handled roughly a fifth of global seaborne oil. That is the single most material development of the day.

But “virtually signed” and “partially opened” are deliberately hedged states, and the formal signing is still Friday. Trump’s own framing — the text public “sometime after Friday,” the strait “completely opened by Friday” — concedes that implementation is staged, not complete. The deal explicitly defers the hardest questions (enrichment, sanctions detail, reconstruction) to a 60-day negotiation, meaning June 15 secures the ceasefire-and-shipping layer while leaving the nuclear core unresolved. The funds-sequencing dispute from Day 108 — US “pay-for-performance” versus Iran’s “funds first” — was not closed, and domestic friction surfaced on both flanks: a Democratic senator calling it “a surrender” and a Republican representative opposing the release of frozen funds.

The Israel-Lebanon track shifted but did not resolve. Senior IDF officials signaling “zero attacks anywhere in Lebanon” if Hezbollah holds is a real de-escalation from the Day 108 posture (when Israel struck Beirut the same day the deal was announced), and it aligns Israel’s conditional behavior with the framework’s “all fronts” language for the first time. But Israel’s reaffirmation that it will not withdraw from Lebanon preserves the structural gap: a conditional ceasefire is not a settlement, and Hezbollah’s prior rejection of any truce that does not begin with Israeli withdrawal remains the unaddressed fault line. Watch items into Day 110 and toward Friday: whether Hormuz traffic and insurance measurably normalize, whether the Lebanon ceasefire holds without strikes, whether the public MOU text reconciles the funds dispute, and whether the formal Switzerland signing occurs on schedule.

FAQ — Day 109

What happened on Day 109 of the Iran-Israel-US war (2026-06-15)?

On June 15, 2026 (Day 109, Monday), the US-Iran deal advanced from “reached” to virtually signed: President Trump and Vice President Vance virtually signed the agreement and Iran’s Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf signed for Tehran, per a senior US official. At the G7 summit in France, Trump said “the deal’s all signed” and that the Strait of Hormuz was “already partially opened” and would be “completely opened by Friday.” Markets soared — the S&P 500 rose about 1.9% and oil fell nearly 5%. Iran’s Supreme National Security Council confirmed the deal. Israel signaled it would not strike in Lebanon if Hezbollah held the ceasefire but said it would not withdraw, and critical issues were deferred to a 60-day negotiation. The formal signing ceremony remained set for June 19 in Switzerland.

Is the Strait of Hormuz open again — has the war ended?

As of June 15, 2026 (Day 109), President Trump said the Strait of Hormuz was “already partially opened” and would be “completely opened by Friday,” with the US naval blockade lifting and shipping to be restored to pre-war levels, prioritizing heavy oil and gas tankers. Oil prices fell nearly 5% on the news. The deal to end the war was virtually signed by both sides, but the formal signing ceremony is set for June 19 in Switzerland, the public text is still pending, and critical issues — uranium enrichment, the detail of sanctions relief, and reconstruction — are deferred to 60 days of follow-on talks. So shipping is partially restored and hostilities between the US and Iran are being wound down, but full implementation and a final agreement are still ahead, and Israel said it will not withdraw from Lebanon.

Has the US-Iran deal been signed, and when is the formal ceremony?

Per a senior US official cited by CNN, the agreement was virtually (electronically) signed on June 15, 2026, with President Trump and Vice President Vance signing for the United States and Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf signing for Iran. Trump said at the G7 summit that “the deal’s all signed.” However, the formal signing ceremony is scheduled for Friday, June 19, 2026, in Switzerland, and the full memorandum text is expected to be made public around or after that date. The agreement ends the US naval blockade, reopens the Strait of Hormuz, and starts a 60-day window for nuclear negotiations; several critical issues remain to be settled in that phase.
