US President Donald Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian have digitally signed the 14-point “Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding,” a landmark agreement aimed at ending months of conflict and paving the way for a broader settlement. The deal establishes a permanent ceasefire framework, reopens the Strait of Hormuz, initiates sanctions relief for Iran, and launches negotiations for a final agreement within 60 days. Iran reaffirmed it would not acquire nuclear weapons and accepted international oversight of enriched material through agreed mechanisms. The United States pledged sanctions waivers, asset unfreezing and economic assistance, while both sides committed to avoiding escalatory actions during negotiations. (PC: Inspired Pencil)
