An informed source told Iran's Tasnim news agency that the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz will begin after the signing of a memorandum of understanding on Friday. Sources close to the negotiation team said the first clause of the memorandum covers an immediate and permanent end to the war and all military operations on all fronts, including Lebanon, as well as respect for Lebanon's territorial integrity.
An informed Iranian source told the semi-official Tasnim news agency overnight that the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz will begin on Friday after the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the U.S. and Iran, and that the first clause of the MoU covers an immediate and permanent end to military operations on all fronts including Lebanon. The report, which follows President Trump's announcement at 00:44 Jerusalem that the deal is signed and the strait will reopen Friday after mine clearance, provides the first detailed timeline by an Iranian news outlet.
The Zioneer reported at 00:10 Jerusalem (Mon) that Pakistan had revealed sweeping terms of the 'Islamabad Agreement,' including a total ceasefire. By 00:44 Jerusalem, Trump confirmed the deal was signed and the strait would reopen Friday. At the same time, Iranian state TV claimed the U.S. was forced to accept the end of the war. The new Tasnim report adds an explicit Lebanon ceasefire clause—an element not prominently featured in prior U.S. statements but earlier confirmed by Pakistan, as The Zioneer reported at 00:10 Jerusalem.
The framework—dubbed the 'Islamabad Agreement'—has been described by The Zioneer as encompassing a 60-day ceasefire, sanctions relief, and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. and Iran were reported near such an agreement as early as Fri Jun 12 (08:39 Jerusalem). Israel's Home Front Command had not changed civil-defense guidelines as of 17:00 Jerusalem on Sunday.
The Tasnim report remains a single-source claim from an unnamed 'informed Iranian source.' No independent U.S. or third-party confirmation of the MoU's text—including the Lebanon clause—has been published. The details regarding the broader ceasefire's application to Lebanon and the precise sequencing of mine clearance remain unverified.
