Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister announced that a permanent and complete end to the war and all military operations on all fronts, including Lebanon, will be declared from tonight, according to Amichai Stein (i24NEWS). Separately, the Iranian Fars news agency reported that Iran decided not to strike Israel after Trump offered an Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon and the immediate lifting of the naval blockade.
Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister has now formally declared a permanent and complete end to hostilities on all fronts, including Lebanon, effective “from tonight,” as reported by Amichai Stein (i24NEWS). The announcement marks the clearest official Iranian commitment to a full ceasefire framework since the current round of tensions erupted. Separately, the Iranian Fars news agency reported that Tehran decided not to proceed with a planned retaliatory strike against Israel after receiving a US proposal that included an Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon and the immediate lifting of the naval blockade. The declaration follows a night of converging diplomatic signals. As The Zioneer reported at 00:54, an Iraqi media report citing the New York Times indicated that Iran had canceled a planned attack after President Trump urged restraint through mediators. Minutes later, at 00:55, the deputy FM’s initial statement signaled an imminent end to military operations. At 00:58, the Fars agency asserted that a full Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon had been agreed upon. The current announcement upgrades the thread from a single-source claim to a multi-source narrative. The backdrop to this development includes earlier reports the desk has tracked. On June 14, 22:49, the desk reported that the US was trying to persuade Iran with an offer tying withdrawal to de-escalation. On June 8, 14:49, Iran declared an end to direct strikes while attempting to anchor a new deterrent over Lebanon; that posture was assessed by Israeli defense sources as being walked back, as reported at 18:51 that same day. A June 11 bulletin reported that Trump had canceled planned airstrikes on Iran. Despite the declarative tone, multiple verification gaps remain. No Israeli or US official has confirmed the terms attributed to the proposal. The timeline for a full withdrawal from southern Lebanon — a key point of contention under the November 2024 ceasefire understandings — has not been specified. The claim of a lifting of the naval blockade is unverified by any independent military or commercial source. The coming hours will test whether this announcement reflects a binding agreement or a negotiating posture.
