The United States and Iran have reportedly moved a step closer to easing tensions in the Middle East, reaching a preliminary understanding on a ceasefire, sanctions relief, and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Following reports of the agreement, global oil prices began to decline.

Early on Monday (June 15), US President Donald Trump claimed that an understanding had been reached with Iran. Earlier, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif also indicated that the two sides had made progress toward an agreement.

According to reports, the deal could be formally signed in Switzerland next Friday, although its detailed terms have not yet been made public.

Shehbaz Sharif said the understanding would include a halt to ongoing military operations in several areas, including Lebanon. Iran has also announced that all military activities will be suspended from Monday night.

Trump further stated that normal shipping operations through the Strait of Hormuz would resume from next Friday. He added that US sanctions affecting Iranian ports would also be lifted.

The announcement prompted a drop in international oil prices and had a positive impact on several Asian stock markets.

Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said that if the ceasefire remains in effect for the next 60 days, discussions could begin on a broader agreement covering sanctions removal and Iran's nuclear program.

The conflict had previously resulted in significant casualties in Iran and Lebanon. Uncertainty surrounding the Strait of Hormuz during the crisis had also pushed global energy prices higher.

However, key details of the proposed agreement, the future of Iran's nuclear activities, and any final decision on sanctions relief are expected to emerge only after further negotiations in the coming weeks.

Germany, France, Italy, and the United Kingdom have indicated that sanctions imposed on Iran could be eased if the country demonstrates concrete and verifiable progress regarding its nuclear program. At the same time, the four nations stressed that Iran must not be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons under any circumstances.

In a joint statement, the countries said they are prepared to work closely with the United States, Iran, and the International Atomic Energy Agency to achieve this objective.

The statement also took a firm stance on the Strait of Hormuz, calling for the vital international shipping route to be reopened immediately and without conditions to ensure the uninterrupted flow of global energy supplies.

The four European countries further reaffirmed their full support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Lebanon.

Meanwhile, António Guterres welcomed the announced understanding between the United States and Iran, describing it as an important framework for an immediate and lasting ceasefire as well as future negotiations.

Guterres congratulated both sides on the progress and urged the swift and complete implementation of the agreement.

French President Emmanuel Macron said the understanding was the result of sustained diplomatic efforts. He emphasized that all provisions of the agreement should be implemented without delay and reiterated that the Strait of Hormuz must be reopened without preconditions.

U.S. President has criticized the recent Israeli strike on Beirut, the capital of , saying the attack should not have taken place.

In a message posted on social media, Trump said such actions could undermine ongoing efforts to finalize a peace agreement in the Middle East at a critical stage of negotiations.

He stated that while Israel has the right to defend itself, the recent response it faced was limited and not significant enough to justify actions that could jeopardize broader peace initiatives.

Trump also noted that an opportunity now exists to reduce tensions between Lebanon and Israel and stressed the importance of making the most of that opportunity.

He urged all parties to exercise restraint and avoid further escalation in the region.

Concluding his remarks, Trump warned that both Israel and Hezbollah must refrain from additional attacks, otherwise the situation could become even more complicated and difficult to control.

3 Killed in Israeli Airstrikes on Lebanon

Israel has continued its attacks on Lebanon despite two rounds of ceasefire agreements and several international diplomatic efforts aimed at reducing tensions.

Since early Sunday (June 14), drone strikes and shelling in different parts of the country have left at least three people dead. According to reports, the victims included a mayor from the Rihan and Tyre regions.

Local sources said Israeli forces carried out intermittent attacks on several areas in southern Lebanon from the early hours of the day. The strikes damaged multiple buildings and resulted in casualties.

Meanwhile, Hezbollah claimed it had launched retaliatory operations in response to the attacks. In a statement, the group said it targeted two Israeli military positions with drones, adding that the strikes successfully hit their intended targets.

Israel has faced criticism for continuing military operations despite the ceasefire with Lebanon. Reports also suggest that fresh attacks were launched shortly after the announcement of the first ceasefire agreement.

Although halting attacks in Lebanon was reportedly discussed as part of a possible international understanding involving Iran, Tel Aviv has given no indication that it intends to comply. As a result, tensions and clashes continue on the ground despite repeated ceasefire announcements.

Iranian Foreign Minister has emphasized the importance of cooperation among regional countries to establish lasting security and stability in the Middle East, stating that no effective regional security framework can be built without Iran's participation.

Speaking at a meeting with social activists and public gathering organizers in Tehran on Sunday (June 14), Araghchi said recent developments have demonstrated that long-term peace and security can only be achieved through joint initiatives that respect the interests of all countries in the region.

He noted that Iran's position on the international stage is not based solely on its military capabilities. According to Araghchi, national unity, public resilience, and the active involvement of citizens during times of crisis are also key sources of the country's strength.

Referring to recent conflicts, the Iranian foreign minister claimed that Iran has achieved significant strategic successes by overcoming various pressures and challenges, adding that the impact of those achievements is beginning to be seen at both regional and international levels.

Araghchi further said that any future security system in the Middle East must include the participation of all countries in the region. He stressed that Iran has consistently supported a cooperative and inclusive approach to regional security.

CENTCOM further said that the strategically vital waterway for global trade remains fully open, with no impact on maritime traffic.

New signs of progress have emerged in the ongoing diplomatic talks between the United States and Iran. The Wall Street Journal has reported that US Vice President JD Vance may travel to Geneva to take part in the process of signing a possible memorandum of understanding.

The report says that if certain conditions related to Iran’s nuclear activities are met, it could open the way for easing some of the sanctions imposed on Tehran. This is being considered a key part of the potential agreement.

According to sources, even after the signing of the memorandum, further technical discussions may still be required. For this reason, another round of meetings in Islamabad is also being considered in the future.

Meanwhile, Washington has concerns over the security situation in the Strait of Hormuz. US President Donald Trump is reportedly interested in discussing the issue with leaders of various countries to strengthen international coordination.

The report also notes that the return of Qatari representatives from Tehran after discussions on a recently revised draft proposal is being seen as a positive sign of progress in the negotiations.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has said that the possibility of signing a memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran is now higher than at any previous time. According to him, if everything proceeds as planned, formal progress on the matter could be seen within the next few days.

In an interview with Iranian state television on Friday (June 13), Araghchi said that ongoing talks between the two countries are moving in a positive direction. Once the memorandum is finalized, both sides will sign it digitally from their respective positions, after which it will be officially released.

He stated that the proposed agreement includes provisions related to ending conflicts in various crisis-hit areas of the region, including Lebanon. He also said that follow-up negotiations on the nuclear issue would begin only after an interim deal comes into effect. As part of the potential agreement, there would also be commitments not to engage in any new conflicts in the future.

Araghchi further noted that plans are in place to begin a second phase of talks within 60 days of signing the memorandum. Through those discussions, both sides aim to move toward a permanent and comprehensive agreement.

Following a ceasefire that came into effect on April 8, the situation remained relatively calm for a short period, but tensions between the United States and Iran have recently increased again. There have also been reciprocal strikes between the two sides. Amid this, former US President Donald Trump warned on Thursday night of strong action against Iran. However, he later stated that he did not authorize any strikes due to a possible agreement. This has renewed discussions about a potential US-Iran understanding.

A possible memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran could be signed in Geneva, Switzerland, according to CNN. Sources suggest the event may take place by Sunday.

The report says preparations for a potential signing are already underway, and if everything proceeds as planned, an official announcement could follow within days.

Earlier, US President Donald Trump mentioned the possibility of a major agreement with Iran and indicated that a signing ceremony could be arranged in Europe. He also suggested that Vice President JD Vance might attend the event.

However, Iranian officials have not confirmed that any deal has been finalized, saying that discussions are still ongoing.

Diplomatic sources also say Geneva is being considered as a potential venue, though Vienna is also under discussion. No final decision has been made yet regarding the agreement’s name, location, or schedule.

According to the sources, such an agreement could pave the way for the next phase of implementation and play a significant role in reducing regional tensions.

The United States has claimed that it shot down two Iranian drones in the Strait of Hormuz after they allegedly attempted to target commercial shipping in the area. The report was first cited by NBC News, quoting a US official.

According to the report, US forces took action when a situation emerged that could have threatened the safety of commercial vessels passing through the strategic waterway. The drones were described as one-way attack drones and were destroyed before reaching their possible targets.

No detailed information has been released about which ships were potentially targeted or whether any damage occurred during the incident. US officials said that despite the event, maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz remains normal.

The incident came just hours after US President Donald Trump expressed optimism about a possible agreement with Iran to ease ongoing tensions. He said a deal between the two sides was close and could see progress by the end of the week.

Trump also suggested that Vice President JD Vance, special envoy Steve Witkoff, and adviser Jared Kushner could be part of the US negotiating team if a final agreement is signed.
