The United States and Iran have agreed to a peace deal, which includes an "immediate and permanent" end to military operations on all fronts, encompassing Lebanon. This agreement, mediated by Pakistan, signals the apparent conclusion of more than three months of conflict in the Middle East.
Pakistani Prime Minister Shebhaz Sharif announced the completion of the peace deal on X, stating that an official signing ceremony is slated for June 19 in Switzerland. US President Donald Trump also confirmed the accord with his own statement on Sunday, which coincided with his 80th birthday.
The upcoming signing in Switzerland on June 19 follows weeks of discussions between the two nations, which included periods of back-and-forth attacks. Iran had, as recently as Sunday, issued threats of retaliation following what it described as deadly Israeli strikes on Lebanon.
