Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has endorsed a signed agreement between Iran and the United States. He stated that he initially held reservations but approved the deal after receiving assurances from President Masoud Pezeshkian that the rights of the Iranian people and the resistance front would be protected.
Khamenei added that future negotiations would not mean accepting the positions of the adversary. He said Iranian officials would reject any excessive demands in subsequent talks.
US President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that the United States is committed to peace. He noted that oil prices had fallen and stocks had risen following the agreement. Trump also called for full ceasefires in the region, including in Lebanon involving Hezbollah and Israel.
