U.S. and Iran reach agreement to end conflict; Trump halts naval blockade

The United States and Iran have reached an agreement to end their ongoing conflict, with Pakistan announcing the deal's framework after serving as a key mediator in negotiations.

President Trump ordered the cessation of the U.S. naval blockade as part of the agreement. Pakistani officials said the formal signing will occur Friday in Switzerland.

The specific terms of the accord remained undisclosed at the time of the announcement. Pakistan did not release additional details about the agreement's provisions or timeline for implementation.

Pakistan's role as mediator marks a significant diplomatic engagement by the country in efforts to resolve the U.S.-Iran dispute. The decision to hold the signing ceremony in Switzerland reflects the country's traditional position as neutral ground for international negotiations.

The development represents a shift in U.S. policy toward Iran. Trump's order to suspend the naval blockade signals a change in the military posture that had characterized recent U.S. operations in the region.

Further details about the agreement are expected to emerge following the Friday signing ceremony in Switzerland.
