Pakistan Says US-Iran Peace Deal Text Agreed, Finalization Efforts UnderwayPreviousNext

Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced that the US and Iran have agreed on the final text of a peace deal, with Pakistan mediating and working to finalize next steps. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi described the agreement as closer than ever but urged media to avoid speculation. Despite Sharif's claims, neither the US nor Iran has officially confirmed the deal, and Iranian officials have denied a finalized agreement amid reports of misinformation campaigns attempting to undermine the process.
