Pakistan confirms US and Iran reach peace deal to end Middle East war

Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced on Sunday that the United States and Iran have successfully reached a peace agreement to end the conflict in the Middle East. The official signing of the document is slated for June 19 in Switzerland, with representatives from both countries and mediating nations expected to be present.

After intensive talks, we are pleased to announce that the peace agreement between the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran has been reached.

Sharif stated that the understanding was achieved after an intensive round of negotiations, confirming that both parties have agreed to halt military operations. "After intensive talks, we are pleased to announce that the peace agreement between the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran has been reached," the Pakistani leader said in a statement. The pact reportedly includes "the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts," a clause that also encompasses the situation in Lebanon, where recent tensions between Israel and Hezbollah had threatened the talks.

The Agreement with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now finalized. Congratulations to all!

The announcement followed shortly after U.S. President Donald Trump indicated that the agreement was nearly finalized, with only a few formal steps remaining before its definitive signing. Trump himself had previously announced the completion of the deal with Iran, stating that the U.S. naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz would be immediately lifted. "The Agreement with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now finalized. Congratulations to all!" Trump posted on social media. He further declared, "I hereby authorize the total toll-free opening of the Strait of Hormuz and, simultaneously, hereby authorize the immediate lifting of the United States naval blockade."
