Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif stated on Friday that the United States and Iran have reached a "final, agreed upon text" of a diplomatic deal to end the two-month conflict.
Islamabad has served as the primary intermediary in the negotiations, and Sharif’s comments mark the latest assertion that the two sides have bridged their final gaps.
The claim arrives amid a complex backdrop of conflicting signals from Washington.
President Donald Trump publicly stated earlier on Friday that he is not satisfied with the latest Iranian offer to end the hostilities, creating a sharp divergence between the mediator’s assessment and the US president’s stance.
The Iranian foreign minister had previously indicated that a deal was "never been closer," but the administration’s current skepticism suggests the final text may still require significant revision or political buy-in from the White House.
For global markets, the development keeps the Strait of Hormuz shipping risk firmly in play.
