Pakistan Says Final Text of US–Iran Peace Agreement Reached amid Ongoing Diplomatic Push

Pakistan announced that a final agreed text has been reached for a peace agreement between the United States and Iran, aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz and bringing an end to a conflict that has disrupted global economic stability.

In a statement posted on social media platform X, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said that Islamabad is now working closely with both Washington and Tehran to finalize the remaining procedural steps needed to implement the deal.

“We can confirm that a final and mutually agreed text of the peace agreement has been reached, and Pakistan is now working closely with both sides on the next steps,” Sharif wrote, adding that “peace has never been closer than it is now.”

According to the outline of the proposed arrangement, the agreement is expected to include the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global energy transit route, alongside provisions aimed at ending hostilities that have weighed heavily on the global economy.

The reported framework also includes an extension of the ceasefire between the United States and Iran for approximately two months, during which further negotiations would continue over Tehran’s nuclear program.

Under the proposed terms, Iran would reportedly relinquish or destroy its stockpile of highly enriched uranium and dismantle key elements of its nuclear program. Financial provisions would also be subject to phased implementation, with no cash transfers to Iran until agreed measures are fully carried out.

Despite Pakistan’s announcement of a finalized text, officials in both Washington and Tehran have offered differing accounts of the state of negotiations.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said a memorandum of understanding with the United States is closer than ever, while urging media outlets to avoid speculation about its contents. In a post on X, Araghchi said all details would be shared publicly at the appropriate time.

U.S. President Donald Trump amplified Araghchi’s remarks on his social media platform Truth Social, though he also rejected reports in Iranian media suggesting that Tehran would receive more than $20 billion in unfrozen assets as part of the deal.

U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance described circulating reports about financial transfers and immediate concessions as “misinformation,” insisting that Iran would not receive cash payments tied to the signing of any agreement.

Trump, in comments to Axios, said Iran had “privately apologized” for spreading inaccurate claims and reiterated his belief that a deal could still be signed within days, possibly over the weekend or early next week.

While reports suggest that core elements of a framework have been agreed upon, including maritime access, nuclear restrictions, and sanctions-related measures, key details remain unclear, with conflicting interpretations emerging from both sides.

The proposed arrangement would also extend the ceasefire period and include additional rounds of negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program. Reports further indicate that U.S. restrictions on Iranian ports could be eased as part of a broader de-escalation package.

Despite the diplomatic momentum, officials continue to emphasize that final confirmation of the agreement has not yet been formally announced by all parties involved.
