A major breakthrough has been announced as US President Donald Trump confirmed that the US-Iran Peace Memorandum has officially been signed, marking what could be the beginning of the end of more than 110 days of conflict. Speaking about the agreement, Trump declared, "It's signed," adding that the planned signing ceremony in Geneva was no longer necessary because the memorandum had already been finalized. He also referred to the agreement as having been signed in Versailles, surprising observers following the negotiations. The Islamabad Memorandum lays out a framework for an immediate and permanent cessation of military operations while providing both sides with a 60-day window to negotiate a comprehensive final settlement.

US Vice President JD Vance has sparked controversy after linking delays in releasing details of the US-Iran agreement to Pakistan's press freedom environment. The remarks came shortly after President Donald Trump signed a major agreement with Iran aimed at ending hostilities, securing the Strait of Hormuz and limiting Iran's nuclear programme. The comment has drawn attention because Pakistan played a key role in facilitating talks between Washington and Tehran, with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif describing the agreement as a historic diplomatic achievement.
