Iran Announces Deal to End War with US-Israel, Ceasefire in Lebanon

Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister, Kazem Gharibabadi, announced that a deal has been reached to end the war between the US-Israel and the Islamic Republic, with all military operations ceasing "tonight." This significant development signals a potential de-escalation of regional conflicts.

The agreement reportedly includes a ceasefire in the conflict between Israel and the Iran-backed Hezbollah group in Lebanon. Additionally, the US naval blockade against Iran is set to end immediately. These provisions aim to reduce tensions and open new avenues for diplomacy.

Gharibabadi stated that negotiations for a final agreement will commence within 60 days. He also issued a warning, indicating that Tehran would take its own measures if any "violations from the other side" occur during this period.

The announcement came shortly after U.S. President Donald Trump reportedly confirmed a "completed" deal and authorized the opening of the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran had previously blocked. However, the Iranian statement did not specifically mention the Strait of Hormuz. Israel was not involved in these negotiations, and reports suggest that the terms have raised significant concerns among Israeli officials.
