Final Iran-US peace deal to be finalised in next 24 hours: PM Shehbaz
- Says electronic signing and technical talks planned next week to secure lasting regional peace
Pakistan's PM Shehbaz Sharif announced an expected US-Iran peace deal within 24 hours, with Pakistan preparing for its signing, aiming to end a three-month conflict.
- Expected US-Iran peace deal within 24 hours.
- Pakistan's role in facilitating the agreement.
- Potential end to the three-month-old conflict.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said on Saturday that a deal was expected between the United States and Iran in the next 24 hours.
In a post on social media X, the PM wrote, “We are closer to a peace deal than ever before. Pakistan is preparing for the electronic signing of the peace deal immediately after, followed by technical-level talks next week.”
He further thanked the US and Iran for their ongoing commitment during the negotiations.
“We extend our sincere appreciation to our brothers in the region for their support. We are confident that this historic peace deal will form a strong foundation for lasting peace.”
A day ago, the premier shared that a final text of the proposed peace agreement between the United States and Iran was agreed upon, describing the development as “the closest the sides have come to ending months of conflict”.
The development came after US President Donald Trump said the United States and Iran could sign a peace deal as soon as this weekend that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz to shipping, but Iran countered that it had not reached a final decision on an agreement.
The deal, if confirmed, would be the most significant diplomatic breakthrough yet to end the three-month-old war, which has killed thousands and sent global energy prices sharply higher.
Iranian media reported Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei as saying that large parts of the text under negotiation have been finalised, but Iran would not compromise on its red lines.
