The United States and Iran have reached a deal to end their war, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif says in a statement on social media.

The deal includes a ceasefire in the conflict between Israel and the Iran-backed Hezbollah terror group in Lebanon, he says.

“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,” he writes on X. “Both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon.”

He adds that there will be an official signing ceremony for the deal on Friday in Switzerland.

If the deal takes effect, it will mark a formal end to the US-Israeli war with the Islamic Republic, which began at the end of February and has involved countries across the region.

The deal that has been reported is a memorandum of understanding meant to kick off 60 days of negotiations between the US and Iran. US President Donald Trump has said the deal will include the opening of the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has blocked since the war began.

“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,” Sharif writes.

Israel was not included in negotiations over the deal. Sharif thanks Turkey, Qatar and Saudi Arabia for helping bring the deal about.

His post comes as the Wall Street Journal reports that Trump plans to announce very soon that the US has reached an agreement with Iran.
