The U.S. and Iran declared an end to hostilities on Sunday, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced, with an official signing ceremony expected on Friday and more detailed nuclear negotiations to follow. Iran and the U.S. have not yet confirmed the news that the deal is now "in place," as Sharif wrote. Why it
Stocks rose after a preliminary U.S.-Iran agreement, but questions remain over Hormuz, Israel and what follows a potential signing in Geneva. The announcement that the United States and Iran will sign an agreement this Friday, has been met with relief from world leaders while, in a joint statement, the UK, France, Germany and Italy called for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the return of regional stability. Pakistan will host an event in Geneva to mark the US-Iran peace deal, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif told parliament, crediting Army Chief Asim Munir with playing an “extraordinary role” in efforts to end a conflict that threatened to destabilize the global economy.
A draft memorandum between the US and Iran reportedly includes an immediate end to military operations, lifting of sanctions on oil exports, and a $300 billion reconstruction package. The agreement, expected to be signed June 19, focuses on ending hostilities and paving the way for future nuclear talks.
