ISLAMABAD/DUBAI/ WASHINGTON/PARIS: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Friday said that a final text of the US-Iran peace deal has been reached, with Pakistan working closing with both sides to finalise the next steps.
In a post on X, the prime minister said that the government was “fully aware of incessant misinformation campaign” being waged by those “who want to sabotage the peace deal”.
“Peace has never been this close as it is now,” he added.
Reuters adds: A memorandum between the United States and Iran to halt the war in the Gulf could be signed as soon as Sunday, a Western source told Reuters on Friday, with Geneva emerging as the likeliest venue.
The source said language in the memorandum was still being finalised and Iran was sticking to its position that the deal must also end fighting in Lebanon, where Israel has been battling against the Iran-backed Hezbollah militia.
The aim was to finalise the wording by Saturday so the agreement could be signed by US Vice President JD Vance and Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammed Baqer Qalibaf. No venue had been established but Geneva was emerging as the likeliest.
Trump said on Thursday he was calling off new strikes on Iran because the deal was now ready.
“We just made a great settlement of the war with Iran,” Trump told reporters in the White House on Thursday.
