PAKISTAN Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced early Monday that the United States and Iran had reached a peace agreement following intensive negotiations, with an official signing ceremony scheduled for June 19 in Switzerland.
In a statement on X, Sharif said both sides had declared the "immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon."
The prime minister said mediators will facilitate a series of meetings this week aimed at preparing for the implementation of the agreement.
Sharif said these pre-implementation discussions will lay the foundation for the technical talks and the official signing ceremony.
The prime minister thanked the United States and Iran for their commitment to a diplomatic resolution of the conflict and expressed appreciation for the role played by regional partners in the mediation process.
U.S. President Donald Trump also said minutes later that the U.S.-Iran deal "is now complete" and that he has authorized the immediate removal of the U.S. naval blockade against Iranian ports.
U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance called the agreement a "major victory" in an interview with local media and said he plans to attend the signing ceremony in Switzerland on June 19. He added that President Trump "could possibly" attend as well.
