🔸 Sharif, who thanked Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Türkiye for help with achieving the deal, said an official signing ceremony would be held Friday, June 19, in Switzerland, with pre-implementation meetings this week laying the groundwork.
🔸 The announcement comes hours after Israel’s strike on Beirut’s southern suburbs, which killed three and briefly threatened to derail the talks.
🔸 Iran has not officially confirmed: its Tasnim News agency said Iranian officials will in a few moments talk about the news and the memorandum of understanding.
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. We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to our brothers in this mediation effort, the great leadership of State of Qatar, for their support in reaching this agreement. I would also especially thank the visionary leadership of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Republic of Türkiye for their immense contributions in this regard.
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.
