After 111 days of conflict, the United States and Iran have officially signed a peace agreement, marking a major diplomatic breakthrough. US President Donald Trump signed the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) from France during the G7 Summit, while Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian signed it from Tehran using a digital process. The agreement came into effect immediately after both signatures, officially ending hostilities between the two nations. The deal is being hailed as a significant step toward stability in the Middle East, with both sides agreeing to begin further negotiations under the framework of the MoU. Trump confirmed that the agreement had been signed, and reports indicate that no separate ceremonial signing will take place in Switzerland. While many see the deal as a major relief for the global community, critics argue that several of the key provisions reflect Iran’s long-standing demands, raising questions over whether Washington made significant concessions to secure peace.
