Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister, Ali Gharaibabadi, announced that the final memorandum of understanding between Iran and the United States has been completed and is set for official signing on Friday, June 19th, in Switzerland. Gharaibabadi stated that the agreement aims for the immediate and permanent end of war and military operations across various fronts, including Lebanon, effective from that night.

Key elements of the accord, mediated by Pakistan with support from Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey, include the lifting of naval blockades against the Islamic Republic. Gharaibabadi indicated that the full text of the memorandum would soon be published, allowing the public to assess the achievements and commitments made. He emphasized that Iran's current military strength was instrumental in securing the deal and warned of specific actions if commitments are not met by the opposing party.

"The Islamic Republic of Iran achieved great victories in the war," Gharaibabadi asserted, adding that all their objectives were included in the draft agreement. Meanwhile, U.S. Vice President JD Vance, speaking to Fox News, expressed confidence that "Iran will never have a nuclear weapon" as a result of the agreement.
