The informed source noted that under Article 11, after the signing of the memorandum on June 19, waivers related to the sale of oil, petrochemicals, and their derivatives will be applied. These waivers will cover transportation, sales, insurance, and transactions related to oil sales.

His comments came after Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced that a peace deal had been reached between Iran and the US following weeks of negotiations mediated by Pakistan with support from Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey. According to Sharif, the agreement provides for the immediate and permanent end of military operations on all fronts, including Lebanon, and is scheduled to be formally signed in Switzerland on June 19.
Iran’s Supreme National Security Council subsequently announced that the finalized MoU would end war and military operations across all fronts and that future negotiations would proceed only after implementation of commitments by the other side. An informed source also said that final amendments proposed by Iran included provisions related to the management of the Strait of Hormuz and guarantees for Lebanon’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
