On June 15, 2026, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi announced an agreement for an immediate end to hostilities between the US and Iran, with a peace deal expected to be signed on June 19. Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif confirmed the agreement, stating that both nations would declare the permanent termination of military operations. Qatari mediators are reportedly in Tehran to finalize a memorandum of understanding (MOU). However, there is uncertainty regarding Israel's military actions against Hezbollah in Lebanon, and some Iranian hardliners oppose the agreement, viewing it as a concession to the US. Senator Lindsay Graham expressed cautious optimism about the MOU but noted discrepancies between Iranian and American interpretations of the agreement.
