Florida Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna took to social media Sunday to celebrate what she called the “best birthday wish” of the day — not a cake or a parade, but a peace deal. Hours after President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that a comprehensive agreement with the Islamic Republic of Iran had been reached, and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif confirmed the deal had been reached, Luna, one of Congress’s most vocal Trump allies, offered an unambiguous reaction to the historic development that unfolded on the president’s 80th birthday.
“The best birthday wish was PEACE! Well done! @POTUS,” Luna wrote on X on June 14, 2026, in direct response to Trump’s announcement.
Trump’s Truth Social Announcement
The announcement that sparked Luna’s response came directly from the president on Truth Social, where Trump declared the deal finalized and moved immediately to authorize key military and economic reversals. Trump’s full post read:
“The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete. 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! President DONALD J. TRUMP”
Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced on X that following intensive talks, the Peace Deal between the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran had been reached, and that both sides had declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon. He added that an official signing ceremony would be held on Friday, June 19, in Switzerland.
A Deal Months in the Making
The agreement involves a 60-day ceasefire extension during which the Strait of Hormuz would be reopened, Iran would be able to freely sell oil, and negotiations would be held on curbing Iran’s nuclear program. Iran has long maintained its nuclear program is peaceful and has not publicly committed to giving up enriched uranium, which is believed to be buried under nuclear sites that were badly damaged by U.S. strikes.
Trump had said the deal would be followed by the opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and also suggested that the U.S. would work with Iran to remove enriched uranium from the country at an undetermined date. “At the appropriate time, when all is calm, we will go in and get the Nuclear Dust, buried deep under the powerful sunken granite mountains,” he said.
The Significance of June 14
The timing of the announcement carried unmistakable symbolic weight. June 14 is simultaneously Flag Day, the birthday of the United States Army, and President Trump’s own birthday — his 80th. The IRGC had noted in a Telegram post that some observers believed Trump’s insistence on a June 14 signing may have been driven by a desire to use the occasion symbolically. Regardless of the timing’s motivation, the announcement landed as one of the most consequential developments of Trump’s second term, and Luna moved quickly to frame it in exactly those terms.
A Consistent and Outspoken Trump Ally
Luna’s celebratory post Sunday was consistent with her longstanding posture as one of the most reliably pro-Trump voices on Capitol Hill. A Southern California native and U.S. Air Force veteran, Luna’s endorsement by Donald Trump helped catapult her to the GOP nomination for Congress in 2022, and she has maintained that alignment throughout both of her terms.
Luna serves on the House Committee on Foreign Affairs and the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and has maintained a conservative voting record of 96% according to Heritage Action. Her seat on the Foreign Affairs Committee has placed her at the center of congressional debates over the Iran war since hostilities began, giving her reactions to diplomatic developments particular institutional weight.
Luna’s Legislative Push on Russia and Trump’s First Term
Just two days before Sunday’s celebratory post, Luna made headlines with a separate legislative announcement that further illustrated her commitment to the Trump political project. In an X post on June 12, 2026, at 10:47 a.m., she announced plans to introduce a resolution targeting what she described as a fraudulent chapter of American political history:
“I will be putting forward a resolution to void the fraudulent impeachment of President Trump during his first term in office. Russia collusion never happened. This has been proven by evidence released by ODNI Gabbard. It was a terrible lie that tore this country apart, and was plotted by a weaponized intelligence agency under Obama. There is no monetary value that can be assigned to the damage this lie caused. It destroyed families’ relationships with one another, our country’s comradery, and our relationship with another nuclear super power (Russia) that could have resulted in war. Thank goodness the admin has started to restore that relationship, but HISTORY should reflect what actually transpired.”
Diplomacy Through Pakistan and Qatar
The breakthrough Sunday came after weeks of mediation by multiple countries. Both Qatar and Pakistan had been mediating between the two sides in a bid to end the war that began with U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran on February 28. Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar had discussed the impending agreement in a call with Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister, Prince Faisal bin Farhan, and expressed hope that the development would contribute to lasting peace and stability in the region.
Diplomatic calls in the days prior included British Prime Minister Keir Starmer speaking with Trump about his efforts to end the conflict with Iran, emphasizing the importance that any deal deliver a durable and lasting peace.
Luna’s Role as the War Unfolded
Throughout the months-long conflict, Luna had been an active congressional voice on the Iran war — at times in complicated ways. In early March, Luna, appearing on television, characterized U.S. military action against Iran as “strategic strikes” rather than war, arguing that targeting strategic military sites and invasions are two totally different things — a distinction that drew pushback from commentators who noted that Trump himself had described the conflict as a war. Later, as troop deployment discussions escalated, Luna publicly stated she would not support sending ground troops into Iran.
Sunday’s post suggested none of that complexity remained. With an agreement in hand and the Strait of Hormuz reopened, Luna’s reaction was unambiguous and celebratory, directed squarely at the president she has backed since her first campaign.
Background: Trump’s Endorsement and Luna’s Rise
Luna has become a national star among Republicans who support Trump and has leveraged that relationship throughout her congressional career. She represents Florida’s 13th Congressional District and serves on the House Foreign Affairs and House Oversight committees. Her loyalty to the Trump political agenda has remained a defining feature of her public profile, from her early campaigns through her current second term.
As the Iran deal took shape Sunday and the Strait of Hormuz prepared to reopen to global shipping traffic, Luna’s two-word verdict — “Well done!” — captured the sentiment of Trump’s congressional base as the president marked what supporters were framing as a signature foreign policy achievement on his 80th birthday.
