Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced on Friday that the final text of a historic peace agreement between the United States and Iran has been reached, according to a statement from his office. The announcement was made during a press conference in Islamabad, where Sharif credited Pakistan's mediation efforts for the breakthrough.
Details of the agreement remain scarce, but Sharif described it as a comprehensive deal addressing key issues between the two nations. The United States and Iran have not yet officially confirmed the announcement, and no text of the agreement has been released publicly.
The development follows months of behind-the-scenes diplomacy, with Pakistan acting as an intermediary. The agreement, if finalized, could mark a significant shift in US-Iran relations, which have been strained for decades over issues including Iran's nuclear program and regional influence.
International reactions have been cautious, with analysts noting that verification and implementation will be critical. The United Nations and several European governments have welcomed the news but called for transparency.
