U.S. President Donald Trump and Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif have announced that the United States and Iran have reached a peace agreement aimed at ending months of conflict and easing tensions across the Middle East.
Sharif said the agreement was reached following intensive negotiations and that both sides had committed to the “immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon.”
He added that the official signing ceremony is scheduled for June 19 in Switzerland.
“Following intensive talks, we are pleased to announce that the Peace Deal between the United States of America and Islamic Republic of Iran has been reached,” Sharif said in a statement posted on social media.
He described the agreement as a diplomatic breakthrough after months of hostilities and thanked regional mediators, including Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey, for supporting the talks.
Shortly after Sharif’s announcement, Trump declared that the agreement with Iran was complete and authorized the reopening of the strategically important Strait of Hormuz, a key route for global oil shipments.
He also announced the removal of the U.S. naval blockade that had been imposed during the conflict.
“The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete. Congratulations to all,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform, adding: “Ships of the World, start your engines. Let the oil flow!”
Pakistan has played a central mediation role throughout the negotiations, facilitating talks between Washington and Tehran alongside several regional partners.
Officials say mediators will hold a series of meetings this week ahead of the formal signing ceremony to finalize technical and implementation details.
While the full text of the agreement has not been released, reports indicate it includes provisions to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, halt military operations, and create a framework for further discussions on Iran’s nuclear program and other outstanding issues.
The announcement was welcomed by financial markets, with investors viewing the agreement as a potential turning point in regional stability.
However, analysts cautioned that the success of the deal will depend on its implementation and the commitment of all parties involved.
If signed as planned on June 19, the agreement would mark one of the most significant diplomatic developments between the United States and Iran in years and could reshape security and economic dynamics across the Middle East.
