The U.S. and Iran have reached an agreement aimed at ending their military confrontation and are expected to formally sign the deal during a ceremony in Switzerland on Friday, according to a statement posted by Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on social media early Monday, Reuters reported.
Shortly afterward, U.S. President Donald Trump appeared to confirm the development, writing on his Truth Social platform that an agreement with Iran had been completed.
Details remain limited
The full terms of the accord were not immediately disclosed. Sharif said the agreement provides for an immediate and permanent halt to military operations across all fronts, including in Lebanon.
The announcement came despite renewed regional tensions following an Israeli strike in Lebanon on Sunday, an action that drew criticism from both Tehran and Trump.
Strait of Hormuz and sanctions measures
According to information previously reported by Reuters, draft provisions under discussion included reopening the Strait of Hormuz to commercial traffic, ending the U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports and extending an existing ceasefire.
The reports also indicated that Iran’s nuclear program would be addressed separately during an additional 60-day negotiating period.
In his social media post, Trump said passage through the Strait of Hormuz would resume without restrictions and that U.S. maritime enforcement measures against Iran would be lifted.
