President Donald Trump announced Thursday that administration officials were close to brokering an end to hostilities with Iran and predicted a signing ceremony could occur in Europe as soon as this weekend, according to [reporting from the Nebraska Examiner](https://nebraskaexaminer.com/2026/06/11/repub/trump-says-great-settlement-of-iran-war-in-the-works-signing-ceremony-soon/).

Trump, speaking from the Oval Office, said the agreement had been approved by Iran's Supreme Leader and that final document preparations should conclude within days. "We just made a great settlement of the war with Iran and we're going to be subject to finalization of documents, which should get done over the next few days," Trump said. The president did not plan to attend the signing himself but would likely send Vice President JD Vance.

Trump canceled scheduled military strikes Thursday evening following the announcement, declaring the deal would prevent Iran from developing or purchasing nuclear weapons and would reopen the [Strait of Hormuz](https://www.britannica.com/event/2026-Iran-war), a critical oil shipping route. "The Naval Blockade will remain in full force and effect until this Transaction is finalized," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

The conflict, [which began in late February when U.S. and Israeli forces launched strikes targeting Iran's leadership and military capabilities](https://www.britannica.com/event/2026-Iran-war), has disrupted global energy supplies for more than three months. The blockade of the strait, through which roughly 20 percent of the world's oil travels, has contributed to sharp increases in fuel prices globally.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office posted that Israel does not consider itself bound by the U.S.-Iran agreement but expressed appreciation for Trump's commitment to ensure the final accord includes removal of enriched uranium, dismantling enrichment infrastructure, limits on missile production, and cessation of Iran's support for militant groups.

However, Trump's announcement represents another potential shift in the protracted dispute. The president has repeatedly claimed imminent deals only to see negotiations drag on or collapse. [CNN determined that between late March and early June, Trump claimed at least 38 times that a deal was imminent](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025%E2%80%932026_Iran%E2%80%93United_States_negotiations). Neither Iran nor Israel have publicly confirmed final agreement on the terms.

Trump said he might consider providing financial aid to American farmers who experienced rising costs, including for fertilizer and fuel, as a result of the war. He predicted fuel prices would decline as negotiations progressed toward resolution.
