In terms of global diplomacy and international security, a very historic, epoch-making and very good news has emerged. The devastating war between America and Iran that has been terrorizing the Middle East for more than three months has finally ended. An interim agreement (Memorandum of Understanding – MoU) has been officially signed between the two superpowers to stop the war with immediate effect. US President Donald Trump signed this peace document with French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday (18 June 2026) during a special dinner held at the prestigious ‘Versailles Palace’ in Paris. Soon after, Iranian President Massoud Pazhakian signed the historic peace agreement electronically from Tehran. As soon as the two heads of states signed it at around 5:00 am Indian time on Thursday, this ceasefire agreement has been officially implemented all over the world, due to which the global markets have heaved a sigh of relief.

While coming out of the Palace of Versailles after the G7 summit held in France, US President Donald Trump confirmed this diplomatic success while talking to international journalists.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei told state media organization IRIB, "It was previously agreed that the Iran-US Memorandum of Understanding would be signed digitally. Now after the successful completion of the digital signing process by both the parties, this peace agreement has officially become a global law."

Changed schedule of Geneva Summit: The accelerated process of this digital signature means that the grand and formal signing ceremony to be held in Geneva, Switzerland on Friday (June 19) is no longer a technical requirement. However, Iranian officials have made it clear that the high-level bilateral talks between the diplomats of the two countries in Geneva, Switzerland will continue as scheduled. 4 biggest terms of the agreement: Major decision on Lebanon conflict and Hormuz Strait According to American and Iranian media reports, with the implementation of this interim peace agreement, many big relief news are coming from the battlefield of the Middle East: Opening of the Strait of Hormuz: ‘The New York Times’ has quoted a senior American diplomat as reporting that the Strait of Hormuz, which is considered to be the main artery of global trade. Will be fully opened to international vessels by tomorrow Friday 19th June 2026. Priority to crude oil supply: To control the huge shortage of crude oil and natural gas in the global markets and inflation, special priority will be given to the movement of big oil tankers through this sea route. End of US naval blockade: The US Navy’s aggressive blockade on the sea routes of Gulf countries and OPEC, which has been going on for the last three months, has been completely ended. Ceasefire in Lebanon: Under this historic deal, it has been agreed to completely stop not only Iran but also the ongoing fierce military conflict and bombing on the Lebanon Front (Lebanon Crisis). Pakistan and Qatar became the main mediators of this mega peace agreement. According to White House and Kremlin sources, many mediator countries have played a very important role behind the scenes in bringing arch rivals like America and Iran to the negotiating table and carrying out this diplomatic agreement.

Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had indicated on the global stage on Monday that his country is going to host and mediate the diplomatic session of the historic peace agreement between America and Iran in Switzerland on June 19.
