Iran’s foreign minister says end to war on all fronts includes Lebanon but Tehran won’t give up nuclear programme; US president has reportedly talked to Netanyahu

OK we heard from reporters;
NOW let's hear from Iran
Leader’s First Response
This is Khamenei’s first official response since the agreement was finalized.
His wording reflects a careful balancing act, endorsing the agreement while emphasizing Iran has not conceded its core positions. He stressed that future negotiations “will not mean acceptance of the enemy’s position,” underscoring that Tehran does not view the talks as a concession.
It also reinforces his authority at a time when his absence from public view has fueled speculation. Iranian officials have acknowledged he was injured in the February 28 strikes that killed his father and multiple family members, and he has remained out of sight since then.
What the Deal Covers
The agreement announced by Trump and Pezeshkian is an interim framework rather than a final peace treaty.
It lays out an immediate halt to hostilities and a commitment by both sides to end all military operations across multiple fronts, including Lebanon, while avoiding future threats or use of force. The United States agreed to begin dismantling its naval blockade and ultimately remove nearby forces, as Iran works to restore commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and ensure safe passage for vessels.
The agreement also sets a 60-day negotiating window to finalize a broader deal, with both sides pledging to respect sovereignty, maintain the current status quo and avoid new sanctions or military deployments during talks. Tehran reaffirmed it will not pursue a nuclear weapon, while negotiations are expected to determine the fate of its enriched uranium stockpile and broader nuclear program.
Economically, the framework opens the door to sweeping changes, including the release of frozen Iranian funds, expanded oil exports, the phased lifting of sanctions and a potential multibillion-dollar reconstruction plan backed by international partners.
Trump has described the deal as a major success, saying it will bring peace and lower energy prices, while dismissing critics who argue it gives too much to Tehran.
Pezeshkian, meanwhile, has framed it as a milestone for Iran, saying it could open the door to economic recovery and a more stable regional environment.
