Pakistan says United States and Iran have agreed on final text of peace agreement

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said on Friday that a "final, agreed-upon text" of a peace agreement between the United States and Iran has been reached. He added that Pakistan is engaged in "intense mediation efforts" to move the process forward and warned that misinformation was being spread to undermine the talks.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi echoed the sentiment, stating that a Pakistan-brokered deal to end the conflict "has never been closer" and that details would be released to the public in due course.

A senior U.S. administration official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the agreement is about 80% to 85% complete and that most Iranian officials with authority support signing, though not all do. The official outlined five key elements: destruction and removal of Iran’s nuclear material, dismantling of its nuclear program, withholding of frozen Iranian assets until compliance, reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and a prohibition on funding terrorist groups. Technical arrangements for removing enriched uranium are expected to be negotiated during a 60-day period after the memorandum is signed.

The United States and Iran have not yet commented on Sharif’s statement. The announcement comes amid broader diplomatic activity, including recent U.S. talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the deal’s implementation and a U.S. decision to scale back some NATO military assets in Europe.
