After more than 100 days of intense conflict, a monumental shift has occurred in the Middle East with the announcement of a permanent peace deal between the United States and Iran. Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif confirmed that military operations will cease across all fronts, including in Lebanon, effective immediately. The formal agreement is scheduled to be signed in Switzerland on June 19, marking a significant transition from ongoing hostilities to a period of diplomatic engagement.

President Donald Trump characterized the breakthrough as a transformative moment for regional security, confirming that the US naval blockade on Iran will be lifted and the Strait of Hormuz will be opened to traffic. Simultaneously, Iranian officials, including Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi, confirmed that Tehran has accepted a memorandum of understanding that addresses critical demands, such as the unfreezing of assets and the suspension of oil sanctions. While Iran maintains a cautious stance regarding the motives of its counterpart, both nations are now preparing for 60 days of mediated negotiations covering nuclear oversight and economic reconstruction, supported by global leaders from Qatar and the European Union.
