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!”
With this, gas costs are expected to go down in the coming days and weeks.
According to AAA, the national gas average on June 14 is $4.0740, with gas costs being almost a dollar lower, at $3.1340, just a year ago.

About The Deal Between With Iran
Operation Epic Fury began on Feb. 28, with President Trump making the goal of the conflict, and its potential cost in the loss of American lives, clear.
“We pray for every service member as they selflessly risk their lives to ensure that Americans and their children will never be threatened by a nuclear-armed Iran,” Trump stated as he announced the start of the war.
Within the first day of the war, Ayatollah Khomeini, the Supreme Leader of Iran, was killed in an airstrike.
A U.S. Navy blockade was implemented at the Strait of Hormuz, initiating a crackdown on Iran’s economy, with oil being one of the nation’s primary exports.
Pursuit of a peace settlement has been in the works for several months, with several previous attempts at securing a deal falling short.
Over the course of the war, 13 Americans have died, CNN reports.
Those 13 heroes are, listed alphabetically, as follows:
- Sgt. 1st Class Nicole Amor;
- Capt. Curtis J. Angst;
- Sgt. Declan Coady;
- Capt. Cody Khork;
- Maj. John ‘Alex’ Klinner;
- Capt. Seth R. Koval;
- Chief Warrant Officer 3 Robert Marzan;
- Maj. Jeffrey O’Brien;
- Sgt. Benjamin Pennington;
- Tech. Sgt. Ashley B. Pruitt;
- Capt. Ariana G. Savino;
- Tech. Sgt. Tyler H. Simmons; and
- Sgt. 1st Class Noah Tietjens.
Critics of the conflict with Iran point to Trump’s 2024 campaign promise of “no new wars,” with the military action significantly contrasting with the administration of his second term’s pursuit of peace deals with several warring nations.
In a later post on June 14, following his announcement that a peace deal had been arrived at with Iran, Trump wrote on Truth Social that the deal will “will bring Peace and Security to the whole Region.”
Trump added:
“Many presidents have tried to make Peace with Iran, and all have failed before me. The Leaders of the Region have, for the first time, found a President who can help them achieve real Peace.”
Negotiations were overseen by Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who wrote on X, formerly Twitter, in greater detail about the initial peace deal.
“Both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon,” Sharif wrote.
