  • Iran and Pakistan asserted that the deal mandates an immediate and permanent cessation of military operations on all fronts, including Lebanon.
  • The memorandum of understanding is set for official signing on Friday in Switzerland, with a 60-day ceasefire period to follow for further negotiations, including sanctions relief for Iran.
