Pakistan has confirmed that the final text of a US Iran peace deal has been agreed, according to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. He said Islamabad has played an active role in mediating between Washington and Tehran for several months to bring both sides closer to a breakthrough. In his statement shared on social media, the prime minister stressed that Pakistan is now closely coordinating with both countries to complete the remaining steps of the agreement. He also warned about an increasing misinformation campaign aimed at undermining the fragile peace process at a sensitive stage.
Diplomatic sources from Western, Gulf, and Iranian sides suggest that the proposed framework includes major economic and political adjustments. These include the possible release of billions of dollars in frozen Iranian assets and easing restrictions on Iran’s oil exports. In return, Iran would reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global shipping and energy route. The agreement also proposes a 60 day period of talks focused on Iran’s nuclear program, along with discussions on potential war reparations and the removal of earlier demands restricting Iran’s missile program. However, there are conflicting claims regarding Iran’s uranium stockpile, with some officials stating it would be dismantled and removed.
The United States has responded with mixed messages. Former President Donald Trump rejected leaked reports, calling them inaccurate, while Vice President JD Vance clarified that no financial benefits would be released upfront and that any economic relief would depend on Iran fulfilling its commitments. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi urged caution and said details should not be speculated on until the agreement is officially finalized. Despite contradictions, diplomatic momentum continues to build.
Israel has reportedly been excluded from the negotiations, while disagreements remain over ceasefire terms in Lebanon. If final approval is reached, the signing could take place as early as Sunday in Geneva, according to diplomatic sources.
