Day 108 | Trump says agreement reached with Iran
US President Donald Trump announced that an agreement has been reached with Iran, stating that Washington will end its naval blockade on the country as part of the deal. Iranian authorities have not immediately confirmed the announcement. Pakistan, which has played a key mediating role in the talks, said an official signing ceremony is scheduled to take place in Switzerland on Friday.
The expected signing of a memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran would mark the beginning of a new 60-day negotiation period focused on ending the conflict. However, uncertainty remains over the details of the agreement, as US and Iranian officials have issued conflicting statements regarding its terms and implementation.
Meanwhile, regional tensions continue to complicate diplomatic efforts. Earlier on Sunday, Trump sharply criticized Israel following a strike in Beirut, warning that such actions could undermine ongoing negotiations. Iran’s top security official also stressed that Lebanon remains one of Tehran’s “red lines” in the talks, signaling that developments there could influence the future of the agreement.
Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters claims US, 'Israel' forced to accept defeat
Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters said the Iranian people, armed forces, and members of what it described as the "Axis of Resistance" had forced their will upon the US and 'Israel' through what it called steadfastness and resistance.
In a statement, the military headquarters said Iran's "resilient and proud people," together with the country's armed forces and resistance allies, had demonstrated that their adversaries had "no choice but to accept defeat and surrender."
The statement also credited Iran's leadership and what it described as divine support for the outcome, praising the role of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and the country's military forces.
Iran says negotiations for a final deal will be held during a 60-day period
Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister, Kazem Gharibabadi, said a final round of negotiations with the United States will take place over a 60-day period after Tehran verifies that Washington has fulfilled its commitments under the newly agreed memorandum of understanding.
According to remarks carried by Tasnim news agency, Gharibabadi said the verification process would include confirming an end to hostilities, the lifting of the blockade, and the release of Iranian assets.
He said the Iranian and US delegations are expected to meet on Friday, when the memorandum is scheduled to be formally signed in Geneva, to discuss the framework for the next phase of negotiations.
Gharibabadi added that Iran had incorporated all its "important positions" into the draft agreement and that the full text would be made public following the official ceremony.
"This memorandum of understanding does not mean trusting the enemy," Gharibabadi said, adding that Iran would closely monitor the implementation of US commitments before moving forward with broader talks.
