The following report highlights an important international development currently attracting worldwide attention.
The keys Generated with AI Donald Trump and Masoud Pezeshkian have digitally signed a peace memorandum between the United States and Iran, ending the war that began in February. The 14-point agreement, mediated by Pakistan, orders the immediate and permanent cessation of military operations on all fronts, including Lebanon. Both parties have 60 days to negotiate a definitive agreement on the Iranian nuclear program and the lifting of sanctions. The United States commits to lifting all sanctions, releasing frozen assets and allocating $300 billion to the reconstruction of Iran. US President Donald Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian digitally signed this Wednesday the memorandum of understanding aimed at ending the war in Iran, according to what officials from both governments declared to Press TV and the Reuters agency. In this way, the peace pact came into force immediately, after the Trump Administration released the 14 points of the agreement reached over the weekend. According to a US official, the memorandum was already signed electronically last Sunday by US Vice President JD Vance and Iran’s chief negotiator, Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, and witnessed by Trump. “The text of the memorandum of understanding between Iran and the United States is now officially finalized because both parties have signed it,” said Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei, who also ruled out holding an in-person ceremony in Switzerland. “Friday’s meeting was confirmed until a few hours ago, but when it was decided that the presidents of both parties would sign the agreement, consideration of Friday’s meeting has been postponed for the moment,” Baghaei detailed. The spokesperson explained that the decision for the agreement to be signed by the highest authorities of each country has been deliberate. “When the text is signed by the highest authorities of both countries, violating it will naturally have a higher cost,” he noted. The 14-point memorandum, reached after months of negotiations mediated by Pakistan, ends the war that began on February 28 with the US and Israeli offensive against the Islamic Republic. It also orders the “immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts”, including in Lebanon. Both sides now have 60 days to negotiate a definitive agreement on the Iranian nuclear program and the lifting of sanctions. During that period, Iran will guarantee free transit through the Strait of Hormuz, and the United States will lift the naval blockade against Iranian ports in 30 days. Likewise, and as part of the final agreement, Washington would commit to lifting all sanctions against Iran, releasing frozen assets and developing a $300 billion reconstruction plan. Baghaei has indicated that this process has already begun following Iranian threats after the Israeli attack on the Beirut suburb of Dahiyeh. In addition, the spokesperson has warned that implementing the agreement will be more difficult than signing it, especially “with parties that are not committed to their obligations.” The signing of the agreement marks the first formal agreement between Washington and Tehran since the US withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear pact.
