Pakistan To Host Historic Signing
Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced on Monday that Pakistan will host the signing ceremony of a memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran in Geneva on June 19, describing the accord as a ‘historic’ breakthrough.
“The signing ceremony of this historic agreement will be held on Friday, June 19, in Geneva, and by the grace of God, it will be hosted by Pakistan,” Sharif told the National Assembly.
“After three months and 16 days of immense trials and challenges, a significant agreement has been reached under which an immediate end to hostilities on all military fronts has been announced,” he added.
Details Of The Emerging Agreement
Both Tehran and Washington agreed that a deal had been made, but the contents have not been revealed. Media reports pointed to a 60-day ceasefire, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and an end to the US naval blockade, sanctions relief for Iran, and talks on Iran’s nuclear programme. Israel said it is not a party to the deal.
Pakistani PM Shehbaz Sharif said earlier it was “the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon”.
Leaders Signal Diplomatic Progress
Donald Trump posted ‘let the oil flow’ and said the Strait would open on Friday. Iran’s deputy foreign minister, Kazem Gharibabadi, said talks would continue during a 60-day period to form a wider deal.
The conflict began on February 28 after a joint US-Israeli military operation against Iran triggered an exchange of missile strikes and a sharp escalation in regional tensions. A ceasefire was declared in April to pave the way for diplomatic efforts.
