Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said the United States and Iran have reached a final, agreed-upon text for a peace deal on Saturday [1].
The announcement marks a potential breakthrough in long-standing diplomatic tensions between Washington and Tehran. A formal agreement could stabilize regional security and shift the geopolitical landscape of the Middle East.
Sharif spoke from Islamabad, where Pakistan has been acting as a mediator to facilitate the negotiations [1]. He said the process has reached a stage where the signing of the document could occur within 24 hours [2].
According to the prime minister, the parties are currently making preparations for the electronic signing of the document [1]. This digital approach is intended to expedite the finalization of the agreement and avoid the logistical hurdles of a physical summit.
Pakistan's role as a facilitator is part of a broader effort to end the conflict between the U.S. and Iran [3]. By bridging the gap between the two nations, Islamabad aims to promote lasting regional stability, and reduce the risk of military escalation in the area [3].
While the specific terms of the peace-deal text have not been made public, the prime minister said the wording is final [1]. The diplomatic effort follows months of indirect communication and mediation efforts aimed at resolving core disputes between the two governments [3].
“The signing could occur within 24 hours”
A successful U.S.-Iran peace deal would represent a significant shift in global diplomacy, potentially easing sanctions and reducing the likelihood of conflict in the Persian Gulf. Pakistan's role as the primary mediator elevates its diplomatic standing on the world stage, positioning Islamabad as a critical bridge between Western powers and Middle Eastern states.
