The US, Iran, and Lebanon have agreed to establish a “de-confliction cell” aimed at managing and ultimately halting military operations in Lebanon. The agreement, announced on June 21, 2026, came out of talks held in Switzerland and mediated by Qatar and Pakistan.
What the deal actually includes
The agreement establishes a High Level Committee to oversee the de-confliction process. This committee will be responsible for monitoring compliance and managing the transition from active hostilities to a structured ceasefire framework.
The parties have set a two-month window for further dialogues aimed at refining the operational details and working toward a comprehensive resolution.
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi pointed to the potential easing of oil export restrictions, the lifting of blockades, and progress on the release of frozen Iranian assets as part of a wider reconstruction initiative for Lebanon.
