US President Trump formally signed a peace agreement with Iran on Wednesday. The agreement took effect immediately and was mediated by Pakistani Prime Minister Sharif, marking a pause in months of ongoing military conflict.Under the terms of the agreement, Iran must dilute its stockpile of highly enriched uranium.
