The United States and Iran have agreed to a peace deal aimed at ending a three-month conflict that has shaken the region.
Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced the agreement on Sunday and said an official signing ceremony is scheduled to take place in Switzerland later this month.
US President Donald Trump confirmed the deal, saying the agreement with Iran had been finalised.
Trump also ordered the lifting of the naval blockade and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a key global shipping route.
Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi welcomed the agreement and said military operations on all active fronts would cease immediately.
The truce also includes the conflict in Lebanon, raising hopes for an end to months of violence in affected areas.
The breakthrough came despite an Israeli airstrike on Beirut’s southern suburbs earlier in the day.
Trump criticised Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, accusing Israel of complicating efforts to secure the agreement.
The conflict began in February after joint US-Israeli strikes triggered retaliatory missile attacks from Iran.
Iran later disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, affecting global trade and contributing to higher energy prices.
The reopening of the waterway has fuelled expectations of lower energy costs and improved regional stability.
Questions remain over the future of Iran’s uranium stockpile, much of which was targeted during the fighting.
Mediators from Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey welcomed the agreement and expressed hope that it would lead to lasting peace in the region.
