The United States and Iran have reached a preliminary framework agreement also known as Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to end the active phase of the 2026 Iran War. This is not a final peace deal but a short-term agreement to lessen the pressure of the Iran US war 2026.
What Both Sides Actually Agreed to and What It Means for the World
Pakistani Prime Minister, Shehbaz Sharif announced on Sunday that the United States and Iran had reached a peace deal with both sides agreeing to immediate and permanent. The agreement of both sides includes reopening of the strait of Hormuz, lifting the US Naval blockade, and 60-day nuclear program negotiations to restrict Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
Under the agreement, the US would lift what Iran calls naval blockade on its ports and coastlines in place since April 13 and withdraw its forces from the vicinity of Iran.

It also reduces the risk of the war spreading thereby involving Israel, Hezbollah, and Gulf states. This will also enhance the recovery of Iran economy as global shipping is being stabilized.

The Iran US War began on February 28, 2026, with joint US Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear and military targets.
Pakistan was not initially involved in the war. However, as the fighting intensified and threatened to destabilize the broader region which include Pakistan’s borders with Iran and its energy interests, Islamabad the federal capital and ninth-largest city of Pakistan stepped in as a neutral mediator to be the unlikely peacemaker between America and Iran.
Pakistan has been leading the mediation efforts between the two sides throughout the Iran US War to bring the Middle East hostilities to an end and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Pakistani Prime Minister, Sharif also acknowledged conflicting reports about the details of the memorandum of understanding. He said that Pakistan was fully aware of an incessant misinformation campaign being waged by those who want to sabotage the peace deal.
