Iran and US agree deal to end war as Israel says its forces will stay in Lebanon - follow live
www.bbc.co.uk
Pakistan, a key mediator, says the agreement will end "military operations on all fronts" and be signed on Friday in Switzerland.

  • Pakistan’s Prime Minister says a peace deal has been reached between the US and Iran

  • “Both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon”, Shehbaz Sharif says

  • Donald Trump says: “The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete. Congratulations to all!”

  • Iran is yet to comment; details of what the deal does and doesn’t cover are still emerging

  • The war began on 28 February, with US and Israeli strikes across Iran. It prompted Iran to attack Israel and US-allied states in the Gulf and effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz, a key oil and gas shipping route

      *Iran “please end the war my midterm odds are entirely down the shitter oh please god” fund.

      Please remember to point out to every MAGAt that:

      1. Iran objectively won this war and is stronger than ever
      2. Trump objectively surrendered and now oil prices will remain elevated for years, if not decades
      3. The inevitable economic crash is tied directly and heavily to this war
      4. Trump is Israel’s bitch
      5. This war was entirely unwarranted and illegal
      6. Trump launched this war because he’s a pedophile who raped children with Epstein and Israel has the Epstein blackmail on Trump.

        and is stronger than ever

        Arguing semantics here, but this is a bit of a stretch. Iran has suffered very significant damage. A more accurate assessment would be that it withstood the US’s onslaught without having their military or their government broken, and have exposed the US military as being too inept to properly wage war.

        The takeaway is similar in the context of the war, but its the US that has fallen rather than Iran having risen, which has much more significant global implications.

          Yeah I agree that Iran hasn’t become stronger, they actually got weaker as well both due to US strikes and internal unrest. But if the peace deal includes the funding that was previously discussed they may rebuild and end up in a better position overall.
