On June 18 (local time), Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian disclosed in full, via X (formerly Twitter), the memorandum of understanding (MOU, also known as the Islamabad Memorandum) that he signed with U.S. President Donald Trump the previous day to end the war.

The documents released by President Pezeshkian consist of a total of two sets: three pages in English and two pages in Persian, each page bearing the handwritten signatures of both leaders. Notably, the final page includes a phrase stating “on behalf of the Government of Pakistan as mediator,” along with the signature of Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. Previously, photographs from the signing ceremony published by Iranian media did not show Sharif’s signature.

President Pezeshkian described the MOU as “a historic document and a powerful message from a strong Iran,” adding, “Peace will be realized under the shade of mutual respect. The Islamic Republic of Iran is always committed to and upholds dignity and the defense of independence, development, regional cooperation, and global peace.”

He further stated, “This document reflects the voice of a people who, despite any threats and pressure, have never traded their dignity or independence,” and evaluated, “Today’s achievement, now recorded in history, is the result of national perseverance, political rationality, and responsible diplomacy.”

President Trump signed the document the previous day while attending a dinner with French President Emmanuel Macron at the Palace of Versailles in France, after which copies of the signed document were reportedly delivered to both the Iranian and Pakistani sides.
