Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced on June 12, 2026, that a draft 'Islamabad MoU' aimed at ending the direct war between the U.S., Israel, and Iran has reached its final stages. The agreement proposes a 60-day negotiation window for a new nuclear framework and the lifting of the naval blockade on Iranian ports. However, tensions remain high as U.S. forces disabled two Iranian drones in the Strait of Hormuz shortly after the announcement.
