Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced Sunday that the United States and Iran have reached a peace agreement, a claim later confirmed by U.S. President Donald Trump. The deal calls for an immediate and permanent end to military operations on all fronts, including Lebanon, and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz with the removal of the U.S. naval blockade. A signing ceremony is scheduled for Friday, June 19 in Switzerland, with logistics still being finalized. Iranian state media broadcast conflicting statements, with some outlets reporting finalization and others saying no final decision had been made. World leaders, including those from Germany, the UK, France, and Italy, as well as Qatar, welcomed the announcement. The agreement aims to halt the war that began in late February following the assassination of Iran's supreme leader.
