Residents of Tehran expressed feelings of joy on Thursday (June 18) after the U.S. and Iran presidents signed an interim ceasefire agreement. "This memorandum was a major victory, and it can also be a turning point in international politics as well as in domestic politics," said Iranian citizen Mohammadali Mirzaee, who called it a 'victory.' The U.S. and Iran released the text of an interim agreement their presidents have signed to end their war on Wednesday (June 17), with U.S. President Donald Trump threatening to resume attacks and kill Iranian officials if they failed to honour their commitments. The 14-point agreement extends a ceasefire announced in April by another 60 days, including in Lebanon, to allow the two sides to negotiate a final truce. Both Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian have digitally signed the memorandum in English and Farsi, U.S. and Iran officials said, with Iran's foreign ministry saying the agreement was already in effect as of Wednesday.
