The United States and Iran have reportedly reached a landmark peace agreement following intensive diplomatic negotiations meant to end months of escalating military tensions and restoring stability across the Middle East.
The announcement was made by Pakistan’s Prime Minister, Shehbaz Sharif, who disclosed that both nations had agreed to the immediate and permanent cessation of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon. He added that the formal signing of the agreement is scheduled to take place on June 19 in Switzerland.
According to Sharif, the breakthrough follows extensive mediation efforts involving multiple regional and international actors. He praised both Washington and Tehran for opting for diplomacy over continued confrontation, while also acknowledging the contributions of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Türkiye in facilitating the negotiations.
The agreement is seen as a significant diplomatic development after months of heightened tensions that had raised global concerns over regional security, energy supply stability, and broader international economic implications.
Reports indicate that mediating parties will hold a series of preparatory meetings in the coming days to finalise technical arrangements and implementation frameworks ahead of the official signing ceremony.
In a related reaction, US President Donald Trump confirmed that an agreement had been reached and indicated steps toward reopening the Strait of Hormuz, alongside the removal of the US naval blockade, moves expected to have far-reaching implications for global oil markets and international trade.
The deal, if fully implemented, is being described by observers as one of the most significant diplomatic breakthroughs in recent years, with potential to reshape geopolitical dynamics across the Middle East.
