UN Secretary-General António Guterres has welcomed the newly announced peace agreement between the United States and Iran, describing it as an important step toward the peaceful resolution of their longstanding conflict. In a post on social media platform X, Guterres congratulated both nations for reaching a deal that includes an immediate and lasting ceasefire, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and a framework for future negotiations.

His remarks were interpreted as a sign of international support for the agreement, which follows years of heightened tensions between the two countries. Observers noted that the diplomatic breakthrough could help restore stability in the Middle East through the establishment of a ceasefire and renewed dialogue.

Analysts cautioned, however, that the ultimate success of the deal will depend on its implementation, the fulfillment of mutual commitments, and progress in subsequent negotiations.
