Pakistan has announced a peace agreement between the United States and Iran, a development confirmed by former U.S. President Donald Trump, who concurrently ordered the immediate cessation of the naval blockade on Iranian ports, including the vital Strait of Hormuz. This accord follows a period of over 100 days of conflict and stalled negotiations between the two nations.
The historic deal, which aims to end hostilities and restore full maritime access through the Strait of Hormuz, is expected to be formally signed on Friday in Switzerland. While the agreement marks a significant step towards de-escalation, reports suggest that dissent is growing within Iran.
