Pakistan's prime minister announced that the United States and Iran had agreed to a "Peace Deal" that immediately halts all military operations, including in Lebanon, with a signing ceremony to take place in Geneva on June 19.
"With the agreement now in place, mediators will facilitate a series of meetings this week. These pre-implementation discussions will lay the foundation for the technical talks and the official signing ceremony," Shehbaz Sharif, a key mediator in the months-long Middle East war, wrote on X in the early hours of Monday Islamabad time.
His tweets reads, "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. Both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon. The official signing ceremony will be on Friday, 19 June in Switzerland. We would like to thank the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran for their commitment to finding a diplomatic solution to the conflict.
