Trump Announces Agreement
US President Donald Trump on Monday announced that Washington and Tehran had reached an agreement aimed at ending hostilities in the region.
The arrangement is expected to come into effect on Friday.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump declared:
"The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete."
Iran Confirms Understanding
Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi also confirmed the agreement.
Quoting him, the Iranian Consulate in Hyderabad posted on X: "The immediate and permanent end of the war and all military operations on various fronts, including Lebanon, will be announced starting tonight."
Tehran Says It Is Not a Formal Peace Deal
However, Gharibabadi stressed that the understanding should not be interpreted as a formal peace agreement.
"This is not a peace deal. This is a memorandum of understanding (MoU) aimed at stopping U.S.-Israeli war crimes against other nations—crimes that will never be erased from the collective memory of Iranians."
The Iranian official claimed that Tehran had emerged stronger from the conflict.
"We defeated the U.S. on the military battlefield, and in this memorandum they pledged to end the war. Iran's armed forces will always have their hand on the trigger to confront the conspiracies of the enemies."
Details of Agreement Yet to Emerge
While both sides have acknowledged the understanding, the precise terms and scope of the agreement remain unclear.
Further details are expected to emerge in the coming days as Washington and Tehran move towards implementing the arrangement.
