  • Pakistan's Prime Minister announced that a peace agreement between the United States and Iran has been finalized.
  • Both nations have reportedly agreed to halt all military operations, including those in Lebanon.
  • The official signing of the agreement is slated for Friday in Switzerland, with Pakistan acting as a mediator.

Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has announced that a peace agreement between the United States and Iran has been finalized, marking a significant diplomatic development. The announcement suggests a de-escalation of tensions between the two nations, with reports indicating a mutual agreement to cease all military operations, including those affecting Lebanon.

The official signing of this accord is scheduled to occur in Switzerland on Friday, June 19. Pakistan has played a crucial role as a mediator in facilitating these negotiations, working to bridge the gap between the two countries.

However, conflicting reports have emerged regarding Iran's final decision on the agreement. Iran's state news agency Fars, citing a source, indicated that Iran had not yet definitively agreed to the framework. This uncertainty contrasts with the Prime Minister's announcement and suggests that the situation may still be fluid.

Further complicating the narrative, U.S. President Donald Trump was reportedly planning a statement on the deal, with The Wall Street Journal suggesting a digital signing by Trump or Vice President J.D. Vance. Earlier, U.S. forces had shot down Iranian drones near the Strait of Hormuz, citing a threat to commercial shipping, adding another layer of complexity to the regional security landscape.
