Will the U.S, Israel, and Iran have a peace treaty?

Currently, the United States, Israel, and Iran are maintaining a fragile ceasefire as high-stakes peace talks get underway in Geneva, Switzerland. The proposed treaty aims to end a devastating three-month military conflict and reopen the strategic Strait of Hormuz to international oil shipping.

Under the initial framework, Washington and Tehran both agreed to a ceasefire and the sequential withdrawal of naval warships from the Persian Gulf starting Friday at midnight. The core of the deal requires Iran to dismantle its newly built uranium enrichment facilities within 90 days under strict United Nations oversight. In return, the United States will roll back the crippling economic sanctions imposed at the onset of the war. However, deep friction remains: Israel demands that any final accord strictly limit Iran’s ballistic missile program, permanently dismantle regional proxy networks, and guarantee Israeli military freedom of action to enforce compliance.

Political pressure is also mounting in Washington. On June 3, 2026, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a concurrent resolution to restrain President Donald Trump from initiating further military action against Iran. The narrow 215–208 vote succeeded after four Republicans broke ranks to join Democrats. Because this was a concurrent resolution rather than a joint resolution, the measure does not require a presidential signature and now heads to the Senate for further deliberation. This gives the president less power over the contents of the peace treaty.

Substantive hurdles continue to stall a final breakthrough. While mediators scramble to extend the current 60-day ceasefire despite frequent cross-border violations, the two sides remain deadlocked over the sequence. Washington insists that Iran surrender its stock of enriched uranium before receiving sanctions relief. Tehran counter-proposes lowering its enrichment caps only in exchange for the immediate unfreezing of financial assets and the guaranteed resumption of global oil exports.

U.S. and Iranian intermediaries are scheduled to reconvene in Geneva on the morning of June 8th to debate this financial framework. Meanwhile, the Pentagon is taking no chances, keeping carrier strike groups on high alert across the Persian Gulf.
