Digital Versailles Treaty Explained
On June 18, 2026, the United States and Iran signed an electronic memorandum of understanding aimed at ending their state of war. The agreement includes measures to enhance freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz and to establish a legal status for the international waters within it in accordance with the Law of the Sea. There are also expectations that Iran will not impose fees on ships passing through. This signing represents a significant diplomatic step, although international agreements emphasize that mandatory charges on the strait are not permissible. Observers suggest that the agreement seeks to reduce Iran's influence in the region, while President Trump continues to pursue his political and security interests.
