Iran and US Sign Pact Ending War, Extending 60-Day Ceasefire Agreement

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmail Baghaei recently revealed that Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and US President Donald Trump have signed a remote agreement, aiming to end the war, extend the ceasefire by 60 days, and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. According to sources, Trump signed the agreement during a dinner meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron at the G7 summit.

This development is closely related to Iran's foreign policy decision-making mechanism. Iran's foreign policy is determined by the Supreme National Security Council, and according to a ruling by Ali Khamenei's Supreme Court, the formulation of foreign policy must follow a specific procedure. The Iranian Foreign Ministry, led by the Foreign Minister, is responsible for implementing foreign policy, and the Foreign Minister is also a member of the cabinet. Currently, the position of Iranian Foreign Minister is held by Abbas Araghchi, who took over after the death of former Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian.

The relationship between Iran and the US has always been complex, with disputes and differences existing in multiple areas. In recent years, tensions between the two countries have escalated further, particularly in the areas of nuclear issues and regional security. Therefore, the agreement signed by Iran and the US has significant implications for easing tensions and promoting regional security between the two countries.

Notably, the statement made by Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmail Baghaei may be an attempt by the Iranian government to improve relations with the US and enhance its image in the international community. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump's signing of the agreement may be an important diplomatic achievement during his term in office.

The role of French President Emmanuel Macron in this event is also noteworthy. As the host country of the G7 summit, France has played an important role in promoting dialogue and cooperation between Iran and the US. Macron's dinner meeting with Trump may have been an important factor in facilitating the signing of the agreement.

For Taiwan, this event is of significant importance for understanding international dynamics and regional security. The relationship between Iran and the US has far-reaching implications for regional security and global politics, and Taiwan, as an important player in regional security, needs to closely follow the development of this event and its impact on regional security. At the same time, Taiwan can also learn from this event the importance of following specific procedures and mechanisms in formulating and implementing foreign policy, as well as the need for effective communication and consultation with other countries and regions.
