Washington: The United States and Iran have reached a consensus on signing a peace deal aimed at ending the war, according to US President Donald Trump and Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who said Islamabad played a mediating role in the negotiations. The official signing ceremony for the agreement is scheduled to take place in Switzerland on June 19, following a series of preparatory meetings and technical discussions. Iran’s deputy foreign minister Kazem Gharibabadi has confirmed the historic development. The deal will be known as Islamabad Memorundum according to sources in Iran.
In a post on Truth Social, President Donald Trump announced that an agreement had been finalized between Washington and Tehran.
In his post President Donald Trump stated, “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.”
Pakistan PM Sharif in his X account posted,”Following intensive talks, we are pleased to announce that the Peace Deal between the United States of America and Islamic Republic of Iran has been REACHED. Both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon. The official signing ceremony will be on Friday, 19 June in Switzerland.”
Sharif said the agreement followed sustained diplomatic engagement involving multiple regional stakeholders.
“We would like to thank the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran for their commitment to finding a diplomatic solution to the conflict. We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to our brothers in this mediation effort, the great leadership of State of Qatar, for their support in reaching this agreement. I would also especially thank the visionary leadership of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Republic of Türkiye for their immense contributions in this regard. With the agreement now in place, mediators will facilitate a series of meetings this week. These pre-implementation discussions will lay the foundation for the technical talks and the official signing ceremony,” his post reads further.
Iran, however, has refrained to call this deal a “Peace deal.” From a grey-check mark handle, Iran has called the deal a MoU .
