Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced that a deal had been reached between Tehran and Washington to end the US-imposed war on the Islamic Republic.

Iranian officials also confirmed the development, saying a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) will be signed in Geneva on Friday. 

Earlier, the Israeli regime carried out fresh airstrikes on Beirut’s southern suburbs, prompting strong reactions from Iran, with officials stressing that attacks on Lebanon cross red lines.

The day also saw senior military commanders reaffirm the readiness of Iran’s armed forces to respond to any new act of aggression. At the same time, Hezbollah fighters continued to confront Israeli occupation forces attempting to advance in southern Lebanon.

Key developments on day 106 of the war, the 66th day of the ceasefire:

• Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif claimed that a “peace deal” between the US and the Islamic Republic of Iran had been reached after intensive talks.

• Sharif said that under the deal, both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon.

• Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi also announced that the memorandum of understanding (MoU) between Iran and the US has been finalized and will be officially signed on Friday in Switzerland.

• Israel carried out a new airstrike on Beirut’s southern suburbs, escalating tensions in Lebanon despite a ceasefire that Iran said remains a key condition for any broader agreement to end the war in the region.

• Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Mohammad Bagher Zolqadr warned that a response was “imminent” following an Israeli strike on Beirut’s southern suburbs.

• Iran’s parliament speaker and top negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, issued a warning to the Israeli regime, declaring that the enemy will never be able to single out any part of the resistance, and that Iran’s powerful diplomacy alongside the bravery of Lebanese fighters will guarantee Lebanon’s sovereignty and dismantle Israeli warmongering.

• Speaker Qalibaf said Israel’s attack on Lebanon's capital, Beirut, shows that the Trump administration lacks either the will or the ability to fulfil its commitments.

• The Iranian intelligence ministry said it carried out successful anti-terrorism, espionage and sabotage operations in the country during the 40-day US-Israeli aggression.
