Pakistan's Prime Minister Says US and Iran Have Reached Ceasefire Deal
Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced that the US and Iran have agreed on a memorandum of understanding to be signed in Switzerland on June 19, providing for an immediate and permanent cessation of hostilities on all fronts, including Lebanon.
Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said early Monday that the United States and Iran have agreed to a memorandum of understanding to be signed in Switzerland on June 19, with both sides declaring "the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon."
This announcement follows Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi's statement that upon finalization, a draft deal with the US would be signed "remotely," which could happen "in the coming days."
French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot called on the US and Iran to seize the opportunity to end an "unsustainable situation" and sign an initial peace deal.
Meanwhile, the United Arab Emirates has agreed to unlock billions of dollars for Iran, four sources told Reuters, in a tactical shift after weeks of Iranian attacks on the wealthy Gulf Arab state during the US-Israeli war with the Islamic Republic.
