Clarence Thomas’ view of the Declaration can help America recover its founding purpose
As America marks its 250th anniversary next month, the nation finds itself in a moment of deep civic uncertainty. Americans sense that something essential is slipping away — a shared understanding of who we are and what we stand for.
Our universities now debate whether equality is a universal truth or merely a product of its time. Public institutions hesitate to defend the natural‑rights philosophy that justified the American Revolution. Even the idea of a common national creed feels fragile.
Yet amid this cultural confusion, one Supreme Court justice has spent more than three decades insisting that the Declaration of Independence still means exactly what it says — and that the country cannot survive without its moral framework.
PROTECTING THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE IN OUR 250TH YEAR
Justice Clarence Thomas, now the Court’s second‑longest‑serving member, has long argued that the Declaration is not ceremonial rhetoric. It is the republic’s foundational statement of political principle. That view may be unfashionable in elite institutions, but it is exactly how the Founders understood the document.
Thomas Jefferson called the Declaration "an expression of the American mind." Abraham Lincoln famously described it as the "apple of gold," with the Constitution serving as the "frame of silver" built to protect it. Frederick Douglass and Martin Luther King Jr. likewise treated its claims as morally binding.
The Founders did not design a pure democracy. They feared what Elbridge Gerry called "the excess of democracy" and intentionally built a constitutional republic to secure natural rights. The Constitution was drafted to protect those rights more effectively than the Articles of Confederation had. It is a means, not an end. The ends — the political philosophy that gives the Constitution its purpose — are explicitly spelled out in the Declaration.
Equality and natural rights are the moral premises of the American experiment. The Constitution exists to secure them.
Justice Thomas has been the Court’s most consistent practitioner of this originalist approach, especially in cases involving civil rights and equality. He interprets constitutional guarantees such as equal protection and due process through the lens of the Declaration’s moral commitments rather than shifting political preferences.
In a landmark 1995 government‑contracting case, Thomas warned that racial paternalism "is at war with the principle of inherent equality that underlies and infuses our Constitution," citing the Declaration’s equality clause as the controlling principle. For more than thirty years, he has maintained that the Constitution cannot be reconciled with policies that treat citizens unequally on the basis of race. His monumental concurrence in the 2023 Harvard and UNC admissions cases reaffirmed that commitment and reshaped the current legal landscape.
This is not nostalgia. It is constitutional fidelity.
WILLIAM BENNETT, ROB NOEL: AMERICA'S MORAL DECLINE DEMANDS ACTION. WHAT CONSERVATIVES MUST DO NOW
The Founders believed that natural rights precede government, that equality is a fact of human nature, and that the purpose of government is to secure these rights. Thomas has spent more than three decades reminding the country of those vital premises.
His critics frequently accuse him of clinging to an outdated vision of America. The opposite is true. His jurisprudence is forward‑looking precisely because it is anchored in the only principles that have ever allowed the United States to correct its course.

At a time when debates over race, identity, and equality dominate our politics, Thomas’s clarity about the Declaration’s meaning is more relevant than ever.
The upcoming anniversary is a rare opportunity to recover that understanding. A nation that firmly believes all men are created equal can be held to account when it falls short. A nation that abandons that belief has no standard left by which to judge itself.
The Declaration of Independence is not just the nation’s birth certificate. It is the statement of national purpose that has guided every major movement for American reform. As the United States reflects on 250 years of independence, it is worth noting that one justice has never lost sight of the principles that made the country possible.
If America wants to recover its sense of purpose at 250 years, it should start where Clarence Thomas has always stood: with the timeless truths of the Declaration of Independence.
SEC BROOKE ROLLINS: How Trump is reviving the fiber woven into America
Recently we hit the 16-month mark in the Trump administration, which is working around the clock to deliver real results for Americans. Just to name a few, we have secured over two dozen new trade deals, reformed the Adverse Effect Wage Rate to lower labor costs by up to $2 billion annually, and led efforts to drive down the cost of key inputs, including fertilizer. Last week in Arizona, alongside Administrator Kelly Loeffler of the U.S. Small Business Administration and Representative Juan Ciscomani, I announced our plan to restore American dominance for a vital commodity hit hard in recent decades — cotton.
Jon Post’s cotton farm in Marana, Arizona was the perfect place to draw attention to the enduring value of this healthy natural fiber, which is woven into our nation’s history. For millennia, cotton has been a staple in everyday clothing, fine garments, and dyed tapestries around the globe. In 1607, Virginia settlers planted it in their first garden, and latter colonists proudly wore cotton as a reminder of American independence.
In Arizona — the third highest producer of high-quality Pima cotton in the U.S. — growers planted over 102,000 acres of cotton last year, which produced over 280,000 cotton bales. Nationwide, the cotton sector annually contributes $21 billion and more than 125,000 jobs to the U.S. economy.
TRUMP ROLLS OUT PLAN TO BACK FARMERS AMID RISING COSTS, PLEDGING 'GOLDEN AGE'
Instead of protecting this valuable sector of our agricultural economy, the previous administration turned a blind eye as cotton growers were squeezed by foreign competitors using unfair trade practices. And in 2023, Brazil overtook the United States as the world’s top cotton exporter.
Thankfully, President Trump and his entire administration are working to reverse course and reassert America’s global cotton dominance.
Visiting the Grand Canyon state gave us the opportunity to announce the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Great American Cotton Plan, which consists of four key pillars.
First, we are promoting domestic cotton consumption.
WHY BANNING 8 FOOD DYES IS IMPORTANT IN MAKING AMERICA HEALTHY AGAIN
In partnership with other federal agencies, we are starting a Plant Not Plastic initiative that will educate consumers on the benefits of natural fibers. This is part of the Trump administration’s broader Make America Healthy Again agenda, which applies common-sense, science-based solutions to a national health crisis that has been ignored for decades. Last September, the White House’s MAHA Commission called for multi-agency research into the potential human health risks of exposure to microplastics and synthetics, including in textiles. As the investigation continues, we are elevating cotton as a healthy, breathable, biodegradable alternative.
Second, we are providing affordable cotton by increasing domestic production.
The Working Families Tax Cuts Act passed by Republicans in Congress and signed by President Trump enabled us to reauthorize the Pima Agriculture Cotton Trust Fund through 2031, and we are providing domestic manufacturers and associations with $16 million in annual support. We are also increasing the payment rate in the Economic Adjustment Assistance for Textile Mills (EAATM) program, helping American cotton mills upgrade their facilities.
Third, we are improving cotton trade by opening up new global markets for American cotton and revitalizing export finance opportunities.
For instance, Indonesia recently agreed to import at least 163,000 metric tons of U.S. cotton annually for 5 years, and then maintain a minimum level of imports of at least 150,000 metric tons. And through the COTTON USA Licensing Program, USDA’s Market Access Program is leveraging over $13 million in fiscal year 2026 to drive global demand.

Our friends on Capitol Hill have a critical role to play here, especially by passing the Buying American Cotton Act, a bipartisan bill that incentivizes retailers to sell more products made of U.S. cotton. This bill, when it arrives on President Trump’s desk, will make cotton more affordable for everyday Americans.
Fourth, we are protecting cotton growers from adverse risks.
With the new cotton jassid pest spreading through the U.S., USDA’s Agricultural Research Service (ARS) has already begun research efforts to control it. And when it comes to the farm safety net, starting next Monday, June 1st, eligible farmers can add up to 30 million new base acres in the Agriculture Risk Coverage and Price Loss Coverage programs, the first time they have been able to do so in two decades.
Taken together, the actions under these four pillars will make our cotton supply stronger, more affordable, and more secure. As we approach the celebration of America’s 250th birthday, the Trump administration is returning to our nation’s agricultural roots by uplifting American cotton and the farmers who grow it. The very fiber of our nation depends on it.

My uncle Rev Dr Martin Luther King Jr would have opposed profiting from hate
I was born into a family that believed in God, loved America and taught that every human being possesses human dignity. Long before prejudice and identity-based politics became fixtures of American life, I learned a simple truth that guided my family’s work and shaped the civil rights movement itself: we are one blood, one human race.
My family background is very diverse. My grandmother’s family came from the west coast of Africa. My grandfather’s family came from Ireland. My mother’s family included Cherokee roots. I have spent my entire life living the reality that America is not a collection of competing tribes. America is one people under God.
My uncle, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., did not dedicate his life to teaching Americans to see one another as permanent enemies. He did not divide people into categories of oppressors and oppressed. He called us to a higher standard — to judge one another by character, to pursue justice without hatred and to recognize our shared humanity under God.
That is why I am deeply concerned by the growing industry of division that has taken root in America — and by the role the Southern Poverty Law Center has played in fueling it.
DR. BEN CARSON: I KNOW HOW BAD THE SPLC WAS, IT CAME AFTER ME AND PUT ME AT RISK
For decades, the SPLC has positioned itself as a leading authority in the fight against hatred and extremism. Yet recent allegations detailed in a federal superseding indictment raise serious questions about whether the organization has lived up to the principles it claims to defend.
According to those allegations, individuals associated with organizations that the SPLC itself labeled as extremist or hate groups allegedly received substantial payments over many years. The indictment describes hundreds of thousands, and, in at least one case, more than a million dollars, in payments to sources connected to White supremacist, neo-Nazi and Ku Klux Klan organizations.
These allegations deserve careful scrutiny.
SPLC SCANDAL UNDERSCORES HOW THE DEMAND FOR RACISM OUTSTRIPS THE SUPPLY | BOBBY BURACK
Americans who faithfully donate their hard-earned money to combat racism and hatred deserve transparency and accountability. Many of those donors are sincere people who believe they are supporting a noble cause. They have the right to know how their donations have been used and whether the organizations they support are practicing the values they publicly preach.
The concerns extend beyond financial questions. For years the SPLC and similar organizations have helped cultivate a worldview that teaches — especially young people — to see our nation through the lens of permanent racial conflict. Rather than emphasizing reconciliation, shared citizenship and common humanity, they too often reinforce the idea that Americans are defined primarily by their differences.
This is not the vision that inspired the civil rights movement. It is certainly not the vision that inspired Uncle M.L.

As my uncle taught, "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."
I know something about being labeled. For years, I have been characterized in ways that bear little resemblance to who I am or what I believe — I have even been labeled by the SPLC itself! So let me be clear: I reject racism. I reject hatred. I reject White supremacy. I reject any ideology that seeks to elevate one group above another.
The answer to racism is not more division. The answer is truth and love.
Today, I still have a dream that Americans will see one another not as enemies, but as neighbors. Acts 17:26 tells us that we are one blood. Science testifies that we are one human race. If we remember this core truth, we can build a future worthy of the sacrifices made by those who came before us.
Trump again says deal is close, then confirms a last-minute agreement with Iran, but details still secret
By the media’s count, President Donald Trump had assured America 39 times that he was about to reach a peace deal with the Iranians. Networks were running montages of these similar-sounding assurances.
And yet it never seemed to materialize.
In between, Trump would threaten to hit Iran VERY HARD – to "bomb the s--- out of them," as he told Fox – only to pull back at the last moment.
There were bombing attacks against the mullahs, who bombed U.S. targets in the region and shot down an Army helicopter, in a cycle of recrimination and retaliation that reduced the ceasefire to false advertising. Things seemed grim in the last few days when Trump called the Iranians "dishonorable," saying they leaked a draft agreement that bore no resemblance to what the two sides were actually discussing.
WHY TRUMP KEEPS FLIPPING ON IRAN: A PRESIDENT WHO SEES THE WORLD AS HE WANTS IT TO BE
Was the president falling into the same trap?
There he was this weekend, saying that the long-awaited peace agreement would be signed the next day, Sunday. Then, as if by clockwork, Iran knocked it down, saying there was no agreement. For most of yesterday, Trump repeated that an agreement was "very close."
But in another plot twist last night, with the intervention of Qatar, Trump posted that "the Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete. Congratulations to all!"
TRUMP DOESN’T CARE ABOUT THE MIDTERMS? WHY THAT MISSES THE MARK
Iran said the agreement was an "historic victory" for its side.
Not to rain on the president’s parade, but some analysts are viewing this as merely an extension of the ceasefire that was available all along, with Tehran opening the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for Trump lifting the U.S. blockade. No text was released, so we’re flying blind here.
But late as it was, Trump was able to celebrate his 80th birthday yesterday with a step toward getting out of the war that is increasingly unpopular here at home, especially for a leader who promised "no more wars" in his campaign.
Remember, this is the same dictatorship that took 52 American hostages during the Carter administration and held them for more than a year. Iran has also funded terror operations around the world, including Hamas and Hezbollah.
In yet another plot twist, Trump was angry at Israel for attacking in Lebanon, which infuriated the Iranians. And the president made sure people knew it.
Trump called Bibi Netanyahu "f------ crazy," Axios reported, and accused him of ingratitude.
Critics were already sniping at the agreement before last night’s development.
"It’s basically a surrender document," Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton said on MSNOW. Moulton, a Marine veteran who fought in Iraq, said the reported arrangement "just reopens a strait that was already open before he started this stupid war."
Senate Republicans have been speaking out as well.
Ted Cruz said he was "deeply concerned" and this would be a "disastrous mistake."
"It doesn’t make too much sense to me," said Thom Tillis.
Roger Wicker said "everything accomplished by Operation Epic Fury would be for naught!"
Hawkish Lindsey Graham, Trump’s golfing buddy, said the U.S. would be recognizing Iran as a powerful force in "a nightmare for Israel."
There is also internal opposition in Iran, including street protests. As the New York Times reports, one conservative Parliament member called for the top diplomat’s impeachment, while another said, "Iran will become a colony of America."
What we do know is the president’s description of a "concept" of an agreement, which sounds awfully vague. And there would be 60 days to negotiate an understanding that the terror state will not develop nuclear weapons, which would be meaningless without strict outside inspections. But that’s been the sticking point all along, the very rationale for Trump launching the war.
With the details still hidden, Trump had to settle for hosting a different battle last night – an Ultimate Fighting Championship bout on the South Lawn.
Not since Henry Kissinger made the preelection pronouncement in 1972 that "peace is at hand" – which just bought Richard Nixon time before South Vietnam collapsed, and the Communists took over – has there been such a failure of American rhetoric.
George W. Bush’s "Mission Accomplished" landing on an aircraft carrier, after supposedly defeating Iraq, might be a close second.
JD Vance, defending his boss, said: "This is how wars ultimately get settled. If you go back to World War II, if you go back to World War I, if you go back to every major conflict in human history, they all end with some kind of negotiation."

Brief history lesson: World War II ended with unconditional surrenders by Germany and Japan.
Look, it would be a great thing for America and the world if the latest steps lead to a reasonable and enforceable agreement. Even the president’s biggest detractors would have to credit him, although some will view it as essentially a return to the status quo before the attacks on Iran.
And if that helps Trump and the Republicans heading into the midterms, that’s politics.
When the president said the other day that Americans don’t have the "appetite" for more war, he was right. And the truth is, neither does he.
Detroit sisters accused of stabbing restaurant worker after wrong food order
Two Detroit sisters, including one who was nine months pregnant at the time, are accused of stabbing a worker at a Detroit chicken restaurant during a wrong-order dispute, with prosecutors alleging one sister stabbed the employee and that the women attempted to throw hot grease, pans and other items at her.
Brianna and Kierianna Long now face several charges in connection with the May 30 incident, including assault with intent to murder, assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder and assault with a dangerous weapon, according to local reports. Both women have pleaded not guilty.
The two sisters entered the restaurant, ran behind the counter and attacked the 23-year-old employee after they were given a wrong order, prosecutors said, according to the outlet.
MICHIGAN ATHLETE LURED BY SNAPCHAT MESSAGE BEFORE BEING SHOT, DUMPED IN LAKE WHILE STILL ALIVE
The sisters threw items at the employee, chased her through the restaurant, hit her with pots and pans, attempted to throw hot grease on her head and threatened to kill her, according to prosecutors.
"I'm going to kill you," one of the sisters allegedly said during the encounter, WDIV reported.
The employee was then stabbed in the stomach with a knife by Kierianna, prosecutors said.
The injured employee had to be taken to the hospital for surgery after she ran out of the restaurant and hid inside a stranger’s vehicle while calling for help.
Brianna, 29, and Kierianna, 26, fled the scene after the attack but were eventually arrested by police.
Defense attorneys attempted to dispute the allegations in court, arguing that the employee triggered the assault by saying that she did not "give a f---" about the food order error before throwing items including knives first during the incident.
ARMY VETERAN DIES MONTHS AFTER DOORDASH DRIVER ALLEGEDLY SUCKER PUNCHED HIM OVER SPEEDING COMPLAINT
Brianna, who was 9 months pregnant at the time of the incident, gave birth four days before her arraignment, her attorney said, ClickonDetroit reported. She pleaded with the judge by saying that she was innocent and had a 4-day-old baby at home.
Both sisters pleaded not guilty to the charges. Brianna was held on a $25,000 cash bond and Kierianna was held on a $100,000 cash bond.
Anti-G7 protest turns violent as demonstrators torch Tesla and smash UN office windows
Protesters on Sunday set a Tesla vehicle on fire and smashed windows at a United Nations agency in Geneva as they marched against a Group of Seven summit set to kick off across the border in France, prompting police to fire tear gas.
Around 20,000 people gathered for a march that was initially peaceful before some protesters later damaged what they described as symbols of capitalism and multilateralism, including the parked Tesla and the UN agency.
Demonstrators grabbed bricks from the ground to throw at police, as tear gas was deployed in Geneva's streets, witnesses told Reuters.
There have been previous protests at G7 gatherings over the years, with many demonstrators using the summits to speak out against capitalism, globalization, climate change and inequality.
Demonstrators in the latest protest said they were marching against the G7 as a symbol of concentrated political and economic power.
This comes after Tesla owner Elon Musk became the world's first trillionaire last week.
"To me, it's a meeting of the rich that shows once again how the rich can become even richer while the poor are left behind," protestor Pippa Saugy told Reuters.
The G7 summit, scheduled to take place from Monday to Wednesday in Évian-les-Bains, on the shore of Lake Geneva, will feature the leaders of France, Britain, Canada, Germany, Italy, Japan and the U.S., as well as the European Union.
The conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine are expected to dominate the agenda. Leaders will likely attempt to avoid a clash with U.S. President Donald Trump after he announced a tentative agreement aimed at ending the U.S. and Israeli war against Iran.
Businesses in Geneva were boarded up and hundreds of riot police were deployed in the streets over concerns about violence.
MIKE WALTZ SAYS GULF ALLIES BACK TRUMP'S IRAN PRESSURE CAMPAIGN AFTER REGIONAL TRIP: 'ZERO DAYLIGHT'
"This is an attempt to frighten demonstrators, to frighten people and discourage them from coming out to protest," protester Mattia Piccard told Reuters.
Another demonstrator said she wanted to raise the issue of gender inequality during the march against the G7.
"The values represented by the G7 are completely misogynistic, and they contribute to inequality," Clélia Colin told the outlet.

Hurricanes legend turned coach Rod Brind'Amour makes history as team wins Stanley Cup over Golden Knights
The Carolina Hurricanes hit the jackpot in Las Vegas.
For the first time in two decades, the Canes are bringing the Stanley Cup to Raleigh after taking down the Vegas Golden Knights, 3-0, in Game 6 on Sunday night.
It took just over three minutes for the Hurricanes to drown out the rowdy Vegas crowd, as one-time Hart Trophy winner Taylor Hall found the back of the net for the early lead.

Offense was slow for quite a while, but with just under seven minutes to go in the second, it was Jackson Blake who gave the Canes a 2-0 lead. Vegas did themselves hardly any favors in the second period, recording just three shots on goal.
This series had been no stranger to blown leads, but those were on the Golden Knights side. This Carolina team was not letting go of anything, and proved as such by killing a key Vegas power play midway through the third.
Vegas pulled Carter Hart with about three minutes to go, officially entering desperation mode, but nothing worked, and Nikolaj Ehlers scored an empty-netter to start the party. Rookie goaltender Brandon Bussi continued to stand on his head and preserved the shutout.
One of those blown leads was a 4-0 lead in Game 3 that Vegas absolved with a double-overtime goal. The other, though, may just be the difference in this series.
VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS GOALIE CARTER HART SAYS HURRICANES FANS' 'NO MEANS NO' CHANTS ARE 'JUST NOISE'
Bussi, who played in less than half the Canes’ games in the regular season, did not see the ice at all in the playoffs until taking Frederik Andersen’s spot in Game 3. In the biggest game of his life, he stepped up
In Game 2, the Golden Knights were up 2-0 with 10 minutes left in the third period, but Carolina scored three goals to take the lead. Vegas tied it to force overtime, but the extra period did not go their way.
Rod Brind-Amour became the 14th person to win a Stanley Cup as both a player and a head coach (not including player-coaches), and the first to do so since Larry Robinson in 2000 with the New Jersey Devils.
He also is just the seventh person to win the Cup coaching the team he won it with as a player. No one had done that since Toe Blake did it with the Montreal Canadiens 70 years ago.
It’s a long-awaited breakthrough for the Hurricanes, who made the playoffs for the eighth consecutive season after missing it in each of the previous nine. In this span, they had lost three conference finals and three semifinals, despite constantly being a common pick to win it all.
This time, though, they finally battled for Lord’s Stanley and did everything they could to snatch it.

National Guardsman pleads guilty to fatal shooting of soldier he found in bed with his ex-girlfriend
A former U.S. Army National Guard soldier pleaded guilty to shooting and killing an Army soldier after he found the man in bed with his ex-girlfriend and mother of his child.
Natravien R. Landry, 27, pleaded guilty June 11 to second-degree murder and use of a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence in the killing of U.S. Army Sgt. Andre S. Stewart Jr. at what was then Fort Eisenhower, now Fort Gordon, in Augusta, Georgia. Landry faces a minimum of 10 years and up to life in federal prison, according to federal prosecutors.
The shooting happened on the morning of Dec. 14, 2024, at an apartment complex on the military base.
According to a probable cause arrest affidavit, Landry was at drill duty earlier that morning and was on a break when he went to the woman's home.
NAVY SAILOR ADMITS KILLING FELLOW SERVICE MEMBER AS MOTHER QUESTIONS MISSED WARNING SIGNS
A witness told authorities that Landry noticed a black truck parked in front of the apartment and asked who owned the vehicle.
Suspecting another man was at the residence, Landry barged inside the apartment and upstairs to a bedroom where he found Stewart, who was dating the woman at the time, according to federal prosecutors.
The woman said they were sleeping when she heard a commotion. Two children were also present at the time of the incident.
Landry, who was aware Stewart was unarmed, shot him once in the chest. Stewart was later pronounced dead.
After the shooting, Landry fled the residence and the military base, but he was later arrested during a traffic stop on Interstate 85 by the Meriwether County Sheriff’s Office.
He threw the gun out of the window, but it was later found by deputies. Testing proved that the recovered handgun was used in the shooting.
Landry later admitted to the shooting in a Mirandized interview.

The woman told investigators that Landry was jealous of Stewart.
Stewart's sister wrote shortly after the incident that her brother was "viciously murdered." She said he left behind a 5-year-old son who was one of the children in the apartment at the time of the shooting.
Landry's sentencing date has not yet been set.

Trump announces peace deal with Iran, declares Strait of Hormuz will reopen: 'Let the oil flow!'
President Donald Trump announced Sunday that the United States and Iran have officially reached a peace agreement, marking a major diplomatic breakthrough that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports.
"The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete," Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
"Congratulations to all! I hereby fully authorize the toll free opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and, simultaneously herewith, authorize the immediate removal of the United States Naval blockade. Ships of the World, start your engines. Let the oil flow!"
Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, whose country has served as a mediator, was the first to announce the peace deal, saying a signing ceremony is scheduled to take place Friday in Switzerland.
TRUMP SAYS HE'S CANCELED IRAN STRIKES, ADDS POTENTIAL DEAL-SIGNING 'TO BE ANNOUNCED SHORTLY'
Trump added that the Strait of Hormuz will reopen once the parties formally sign the agreement.
"With the opening of the Strait upon the signing of the Deal on Friday, for purposes of mine removal, oil will flow on both ends again for the Region, and the World!" he said.
IRAN REVEALS 10-POINT PLAN FOR PEACE WITH THE US – HERE'S WHAT'S IN IT
According to Sharif, the deal includes the termination of military operations across the region, including in Lebanon, where Iran-backed terrorist proxy Hezbollah has been engaged in conflict with Israel.
"Both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon," he said.
Additional details of the agreement, including any provisions related to Iran's nuclear program, were not immediately released.
Iran's deputy foreign minister said talks with the United States on a final and more comprehensive agreement will take place during a 60-day ceasefire period, according to Reuters.
The outlet reported that the future of Iran's nuclear program will be addressed in upcoming negotiations. Trump has long maintained that Iran cannot be in possession of a nuclear weapon and has repeatedly vowed to prevent Tehran from developing, acquiring or obtaining one.
Trump further praised his administration for securing the agreement.
"This Great Deal will bring Peace and Security to the whole Region," he said. "Many presidents have tried to make Peace with Iran, and all have failed before me. The Leaders of the Region have, for the first time, found a President who can help them achieve real Peace."
Sharif also thanked the United States and Iran for their "commitment to finding a diplomatic solution to the conflict," as well as Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey for their contributions to the mediation effort.
With the agreement now in place, mediators are expected to facilitate a series of meetings this week that could lay the groundwork for technical negotiations and the official signing ceremony, Sharif said.
The peace deal would formally end the high-stakes conflict that began on Feb. 28, which disrupted roughly 20% of global oil shipments that pass through the Strait of Hormuz and contributed to higher energy prices worldwide.
It comes roughly one year after Israel initiated massive strikes on Iran during Operation Rising Lion. The strikes sparked a 12-day conflict between the nations before Trump ordered strikes on a trio of nuclear facilities later that same month.
