Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has announced a peace agreement between the United States and Iran, according to the news agency Reuters. This development comes amid escalating tensions, including Israeli attacks on Lebanon and Iranian threats of retaliation.

The conflict between the US and Iran reportedly began on February 28, with the US and Israel launching an initial wave of attacks against the Middle Eastern country. Former President Trump justified the war by citing Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons, demanding the dismantling of its atomic facilities and the removal of its stockpile of radioactive uranium.

During this period of heightened conflict, the dispute between Israel and Lebanon has also intensified. The Hezbollah militia in Lebanon has been supported by Iran for years, adding another layer of complexity to the regional dynamics.
