Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian called the signing of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding a "historical document" and a message from a "powerful Iran", hours after he and US President Donald Trump formally put their signatures to a 14-point agreement aimed at ending the conflict that has convulsed the Middle East since February.
"Peace will be realized in the shadow of mutual respect," Pezeshkian said in a post on X. "The Islamic Republic of Iran has always been committed and steadfast to global peace while preserving its dignity and independence, as well as to progress and regional cooperation."

The Iranian president framed the agreement as a product of what he described as "national resilience, political rationality, and responsible diplomacy," adding that Iran did not trade its "dignity and independence for any threat or pressure."
What the deal says
The interim agreement declares an intent to bring about an "immediate and permanent termination of military operations" in the US-Israeli war with Iran. Both sides will commit to further talks toward a more substantive "final deal" within 60 days, extendable with mutual consent.
