Pakistan says US, Iran have agreed upon the 'final' text of peace deal framework

Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said Friday that the United States and Iran have agreed to a framework for the peace deal that would end the months-long conflict in the Middle East.

The confirmation comes amid conflicting reports on the details of the framework and whether it included a ban on Iran developing nuclear weapons. 

"Amid ongoing intense mediation efforts by Pakistan, we are fully aware of incessant misinformation campaign being waged by those who want to sabotage the peace deal," Sharif posted on X. "We can confirm that a final, agreed upon text of the peace deal has been reached and Pakistan is now working closely with both sides to finalize the next steps. Peace has never been this close as it is now."

President Donald Trump has blasted the Iranian state media for publishing a report on a draft of the deal, which also included quotes from unnamed Iranian officials saying the country would negotiate retaining its nuclear enrichment program. 

"The terms that Iran leaked out to the Fake News have NOTHING to do with the terms that were agreed to, in writing," Trump said in a post on Truth Social. "What they said, including their weak and pathetic statement on having a deal, bears no relation to the truth."

Trump added that the Iranians' who are handling the negotiations are "very dishonorable people," and said there's "no such thing as dealing in good faith with them." 

Iran has also confirmed that the framework for the peace deal will be finalized in the near future, and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi urged the news media not to speculate on the details of the agreement.

“Pending its finalization, the media should refrain from entering speculation about its content,” he posted to X. “In line with our responsible and transparent approach, all details will be shared with the public in due course.”
