"I would like to emphasize the importance of refraining from  rhetoric, provocations and actions that could escalate tensions, and  of remaining vigilant against possible acts of sabotage until the day  the signatures are affixed," he said.  Erdogan thanked the US and  Iranian leaderships for their role in reaching the agreement and  expressed special appreciation to Pakistan for what he described as  its exceptional mediation efforts.

US President Donald Trump subsequently  announced the resumption of traffic in the Strait of Hormuz and the  end of the naval blockade against Iran.  Tehran also confirmed this.  However, the exact details of the agreement remain unknown.
