Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has announced that the United States and Iran have reached a peace agreement following extensive diplomatic negotiations aimed at reducing tensions in the region.
According to the prime minister, both countries have agreed to immediately and permanently end military operations on all fronts. The reported agreement also includes arrangements related to regional areas affected by the conflict, including Lebanon.
Sharif described the development as a major diplomatic breakthrough and welcomed the decision of both sides to resolve differences through dialogue and negotiations rather than continued confrontation. He said the agreement reflects the importance of diplomacy in addressing complex international challenges.
The peace agreement is expected to be officially signed in Switzerland on June 19. Following the signing ceremony, both sides are expected to move toward the next phase of the process, which will focus on implementing the terms of the agreement.
The prime minister also thanked the leadership of the United States and Iran for their commitment to peaceful negotiations. He praised their willingness to engage in dialogue and work toward a solution that could contribute to regional stability.
In addition, Sharif acknowledged the mediation and diplomatic efforts of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Türkiye. He noted that these countries played an important role in supporting discussions and helping create conditions for successful negotiations.
Officials have indicated that further meetings will take place this week to discuss technical matters and implementation mechanisms. These discussions are expected to focus on practical steps required to put the agreement into effect.
Observers believe that if successfully implemented, the agreement could help reduce regional tensions, improve stability, and create opportunities for broader diplomatic engagement.
The development is being viewed as a significant step toward peace and cooperation in a region that has faced prolonged uncertainty and conflict.
