The United States and Iran formally signed a landmark ceasefire agreement on Wednesday, with Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif confirming on X that the accord had been electronically signed by the presidents of both nations.

Sharif, who served as mediator, said the deal carries immediate effect, with Iran pledging to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and Washington committing to lift its naval blockade as the first steps under the agreement.

Trump confirmed the signing of the agreement, telling reporters outside the Palace of Versailles in France, "I signed it in Versailles... Just signed it," according to multiple reports, including from the AFP.
