PORTALBERITA.CO.ID - The United States confirmed a significant diplomatic breakthrough on Sunday, June 15, 2026, with the announcement of a bilateral peace agreement with Iran. This development followed months of escalating tensions and military operations in the region.
The accord was jointly revealed by U.S. President Donald Trump and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif via separate social media posts spanning late Sunday into Monday. This diplomatic success arrives after a period marked by considerable economic strain for American consumers.
U.S. Vice President JD Vance publicly acknowledged the sacrifices made by the American populace during the conflict. As reported by Dailycaller, Vance specifically recognized the public's endurance through significantly elevated domestic gasoline costs.
National fuel prices had shown a sharp upward trend throughout the preceding military engagement. Gasbuddy.com data indicated that the average price for a gallon of gasoline reached $3.995 on Sunday, a substantial increase from the pre-conflict average of $2.982 recorded before Operation Epic Fury commenced.
Vice President Vance articulated his primary sentiment toward the nation, stating, "Well, I guess my primary message to the American people is ‘thank you,’" as quoted by Dailycaller.
He further elaborated that this public patience was instrumental in allowing the administration to successfully address long-standing security issues related to Iran's nuclear ambitions. Vance expressed absolute confidence that the primary containment objectives have now been realized.
Regarding the nuclear program, Vance confirmed the administration's success in achieving its core aims: "Because of your patience, I think that we’ve solved the problem that has plagued this country, again, for well before I was even born, which is a terrorist-supporting Iran that was pursuing a nuclear weapon. We are now at a place here where we can say with confidence, ‘They’re not going to get a nuclear weapon,’" stated U.S. Vice President Vance.
The administration anticipates that adherence to the broader terms of the agreement will usher in an era of regional stability, potentially reshaping decades of diplomatic friction in the Middle East. This hope was shared by Vance during his remarks.
Vance highlighted the potential for regional transformation if compliance is maintained: "And again, if they comply with the broader elements of the deal, this entire region— I mean think about this: for years if you’ve heard about the Middle East as an American, you’ve heard about war, you’ve heard about terrorism, you’ve heard about the constant chaos of the region," continued U.S. Vice President Vance.
