The deal, considered a major breakthrough after nearly four months of conflict, was welcomed by European leaders hoping for lower energy prices and the restoration of trade.
However, the agreement immediately faced challenges as Israeli officials declared they were not bound by it and vowed to continue military operations in Lebanon.
Iran and Pakistan asserted that the deal mandates an immediate and permanent cessation of military operations on all fronts, including Lebanon.
The memorandum of understanding is set for official signing on Friday in Switzerland, with a 60-day ceasefire period to follow for further negotiations, including sanctions relief for Iran.
