Machine translation:
I am honored to announce that the "historic Islamabad Memorandum" was electronically signed today between the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran. This memorandum has been signed by the esteemed presidents of both countries, and I have also confirmed it as a mediator. The signing of this agreement at the highest level of the respective governments demonstrates the commitment of both parties to a diplomatic resolution of this dispute. The Islamabad memorandum will take effect immediately, and as a first step, the Islamic Republic of Iran will immediately reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and the United States will also promptly lift the maritime blockade.

Pakistan, with the support of the Qatari government as a joint mediator, will host the official ceremony as scheduled on June 19, 2026, in Switzerland to commemorate this historic event and to initiate technical discussions.

I extend my warmest congratulations and sincere appreciation to the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump; whose steadfast commitment to diplomacy and preference for peaceful resolution once again helped to end a dispute that could have had devastating consequences for the region and beyond. I also commend the tireless efforts of the U.S. negotiating team, including J.D. Vance, Steve Witkoff, and Jared Kushner, for their valuable role in this achievement.

I express my deep respect and appreciation to His Excellency Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and President Masoud Behdarvand; for their wisdom, foresight, and statesmanship in embracing the cause of peace. I would also like to acknowledge the efforts of the Iranian negotiating team, including Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, Abbas Araghchi, and Eskandar Momeni; whose patience, perseverance, and commitment to constructive engagement played a crucial role in bringing this agreement to fruition.

I would like to especially commend the sincere efforts and constructive engagement of the leadership of the Qatari government in helping to reach this point. I also greatly appreciate the leadership of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Republic of Turkey, and the Arab Republic of Egypt for their essential roles and valuable contributions in this regard.

I would also like to specifically mention Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir; whose tireless efforts, selfless dedication, and key role in facilitating this progress and advancing the cause of peace and regional stability were vital.

May this memorandum serve as a lasting foundation for further understanding, mutual respect, and shared prosperity throughout the region.
