The war, which began on February 28, with US-‘Israeli’ strikes under “Operation Epic Fury,” concluded with the signing of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding on June 17.
This 14-point agreement formally ended active hostilities between the United States, ‘Israel’, and Iran and its allies.
The memorandum, mediated by Pakistan and signed by US President Donald Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, mandates an immediate and permanent cessation of military operations across all fronts, including Lebanon.
It also requires Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, the lifting of the US naval blockade, and initial sanctions relief.
While the agreement marks an official end to the war, it establishes a 60-day period—extendable by mutual consent—for further negotiations toward a comprehensive final deal.
Key unresolved issues include Iran’s nuclear program, long-term sanctions, and reconstruction support.
Both parties claimed success.
The US emphasizes the degradation of Iranian military capabilities and restored energy flows, while Iran highlights regime survival and diplomatic concessions obtained through its strategic use of the Hormuz blockade.
Implementation has begun, with increased shipping through the Strait and initial easing of restrictions reported.
Analysts view the memorandum as a pragmatic de-escalation, though challenges remain, including ‘Israel’s’ position and the durability of the nuclear-related commitments.
