Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has announced that Iran and the United States have agreed on the final and mutually accepted text of a peace agreement, marking a major breakthrough in ongoing diplomatic efforts led by Pakistan.
In a statement posted on X, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said that Iran and the United States have reached consensus on the final text of a peace deal.
According to the prime minister, the agreement comes after sustained and intensive mediation efforts by Pakistan aimed at reducing tensions and promoting regional stability.
Pakistan dismisses misinformation campaign
Shehbaz said Pakistan is fully aware of what he described as an "incessant misinformation campaign" being carried out by elements seeking to sabotage the peace process.
He emphasized that despite the noise and speculation surrounding the negotiations, meaningful progress has been achieved between the two sides.
Final text agreed
The prime minister confirmed that a final, mutually agreed-upon draft of the peace agreement has been reached.
He added that Pakistan is now working closely with both Iran and the United States to finalize the next steps required to move the agreement toward implementation.
Highlighting the significance of the development, Shehbaz Sharif said peace is now closer than it has ever been.
The statement signals growing optimism that diplomatic efforts could lead to a formal agreement and help stabilize the region after months of tensions and negotiations.
A short while ago, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said a proposed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the United States is “never closer” to completion, even as Washington continues to emphasize strict conditions and denies any immediate financial relief for Tehran.
In a post on X, Araghchi urged caution over speculation surrounding the negotiations, which have recently drawn intense global attention amid conflicting political statements.
“Pending its finalisation, the media should refrain from entering speculation about its content,” he wrote, adding that Iran would share details publicly once discussions are concluded.
He also reiterated Tehran’s stance on transparency, saying that all information will be disclosed “in due course” as part of what he described as a responsible negotiating approach.
US Vice President JD Vance stressed that any potential agreement with Iran would be strictly performance-based, with no financial benefits granted simply for signing a deal.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran is not receiving any cash nor will funds be released for simply signing a deal or attending a meeting,” Vance wrote on X.
Pakistan’s role in mediation
Pakistan has been actively engaged in facilitating dialogue between Tehran and Washington, with the government repeatedly emphasizing the importance of diplomacy and peaceful conflict resolution.
The latest announcement underscores Islamabad’s role in supporting negotiations and helping both sides move toward a mutually acceptable settlement.
