  • Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced that the U.S. and Iran have reached a peace agreement.
  • The agreement includes an immediate and permanent cessation of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon.
  • The official signing ceremony is scheduled for June 19 in Switzerland, with potential electronic signing beforehand.

Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced late Sunday that the United States and Iran have concluded a peace agreement, signaling a potential end to months of escalating tensions.

According to Sharif's statement, posted on social media platform X, both parties have committed to an immediate and permanent halt to military operations across all fronts. This cessation explicitly includes fronts in Lebanon, indicating a broader regional de-escalation.

The official ceremony for the signing of this accord is slated to take place on June 19 in Switzerland. However, there is a possibility of an earlier electronic signing, potentially by U.S. President Donald Trump or his Vice President JD Vance, as suggested by Trump in an earlier conversation with The Wall Street Journal.

This development follows intensive discussions throughout the weekend, aimed at establishing a framework agreement to end nearly four months of conflict. Hopes for a deal were reportedly complicated by a Zionist attack on Beirut, which provoked anger from Tehran, highlighting the fragile nature of the negotiations.
