"Shehbaz Sharif, the prime minister of Pakistan, which served as the key
negotiator between the U.S. and Iran, announced on June 14, 2026, that the two
sides had agreed on a deal to end the war. It will be officially signed on June
19 in Switzerland.
President Donald Trump announced it on Truth Social as a triumph, claiming that
the Strait of Hormuz is open for everyone, the U.S. blockade has been lifted,
and the oil is flowing again. What Trump did not mention was Iran’s nuclear
program and what happens to its enriched uranium stockpile, one of the main
reasons cited for starting the war.
The nuclear issue – along with core issues such as ballistic missiles and
Iran’s proxies – has been deferred for 60 days.
This raises two important questions: What was the war actually for? And what
did the U.S. achieve?
As an international and nuclear security expert, I believe the answer is
nothing – and in the process the U.S. lost credibility as a negotiating
partner."
