Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said on X that a final, agreed text of a peace deal between the United States and Iran has been reached [1].
This development marks a significant diplomatic shift in the Middle East, as Pakistan has positioned itself as a key mediator to resolve long-standing tensions between the two nations.
Sharif shared the announcement on the social-media platform X on June 12, 2026 [1]. He said that Pakistan is currently working on the next steps of the peace process [3]. The announcement followed a series of diplomatic efforts, including a message delivered to Iran's leadership regarding the advancement of the deal.
Mohsin Naqvi supported the announcement by confirming the delivery of high-level communications. Naqvi said he delivered a letter and an important message from Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir to Iran's Supreme Leader [2]. This diplomatic channel was intended to convey messages to the Iranian leadership and address potential saboteurs who might hinder the peace process.
The timeline for the formalization of the agreement moved quickly following the initial announcement. On June 13, 2026, reports indicated that the signing of the U.S.-Iran peace deal was expected within 24 hours [4].
This mediation effort has garnered international attention, including recognition from China. President Xi Jinping previously thanked Sharif for his role in mediating the conflict in Iran [5]. The process reflects a coordinated effort by the Pakistani government and military leadership to stabilize regional security through formal diplomacy.
“"A final, agreed text of a peace deal between the United States and Iran has been reached."”
The involvement of both Pakistan's civilian government and its military leadership, specifically Field Marshal Asim Munir, indicates that the mediation was a whole-of-government effort. By facilitating a deal between the U.S. and Iran, Pakistan is attempting to elevate its strategic importance as a regional power broker and stabilizer in the Middle East.
