WASHINGTON, ‌June 18 (Reuters) - ​The ​White House provided a copy of the interim U.S.-Iran agreement to the U.S. ‌Congress on Thursday, according to a copy of ⁠the document seen by Reuters, a day after U.S. ‌President Donald Trump signed ‌an interim deal with Tehran to end the war.

The terms listed in the document to ​Congress matched the details of the interim U.S.-Iran agreement read out by a U.S. official ⁠on Wednesday.

The document, titled "Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding between the Islamic Republic ​of Iran and the United States of America", begins with a declaration of an ​immediate and permanent end to ‌military operations on all fronts, including Lebanon.

The document also confirmed that the ⁠U.S. would fully end its naval blockade on Iranian ports within 30 days and Iran would ensure safe ⁠passage of commercial vessels at no charge in the ​Strait of Hormuz for 60 days.

Washington and Tehran commit to negotiating a final deal within 60 days, and they ‌can extend the time frame by mutual agreement, the document showed.

The document bears ‌signatures on behalf of Iran and the United ⁠States, with Pakistan ‌signing as witness ​and mediator.
