Iran: Ceasefire Agreed with United States, Immediate Halt to Fighting on All Fronts

(Tehran, Central News Agency, 15th - compiled international news) Iran announced that its newly reached agreement with the United States has brought an "immediate end" to the war between the two nations.

According to AFP, Kazem Gharibabadi, Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister, stated on television early this morning: "It has been announced that there will be a permanent and immediate cessation of war on all fronts, including Lebanon."

AP reports that the specific details of the agreement have not yet been fully disclosed.
