In a message posted on his X account on Thursday, Pezeshkian reiterated Iran’s commitment to global peace while safeguarding national dignity and independence.
The president attached a photo of the MoU between Iran and the US to his post, saying, “This is a historic document and a message from strong Iran: peace will be realized through mutual respect.”
“The Islamic Republic of Iran has always remained committed and dedicated to global peace while preserving dignity and independence, as well as to progress and regional cooperation,” Pezeshkian added.
The message came after Iran and the US signed the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding in the first minutes of June 18, 2026, through a simultaneous digital process conducted by President Pezeshkian and US President Donald Trump without an in-person ceremony.
According to Iranian officials, the memorandum serves as a political framework aimed at ending the imposed US-Israeli war of aggression against the Islamic Republic and opening a path toward a comprehensive final agreement following weeks of negotiations.
Under the document, the parties agreed to the immediate and permanent cessation of military operations involving Iran, the US, and their respective allies across all fronts, including Lebanon, while committing to avoid future military action and threats of force. The memorandum also outlines a phased process for easing restrictions affecting Iran’s economy and maritime activity, establishes a framework for negotiations on nuclear-related issues under mutually agreed mechanisms and International Atomic Energy Agency supervision, and envisages completion of a final agreement within 60 days that would ultimately be formalized through a binding UN Security Council resolution.
