The US and Iran agreed on the final version of the memorandum

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has declared that the United States and Iran have reached a final agreement on the text of a memorandum of understanding aimed at resolving their conflict. Sharif, whose country has been mediating the high-stakes negotiations, announced on social media platform X that "a final, agreed text of the peace agreement" has been achieved.

We can confirm the achievement of a final, agreed text of the peace agreement.

According to Sharif, the prospect of peace between Washington and Tehran is closer than ever before. He affirmed that Pakistan continues to engage with both nations to determine the subsequent steps required to formalize the agreement. This development follows a period of intense conflict, including strikes and the blocking of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global oil and gas transit route.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi reportedly stated that the agreement to cease hostilities is nearing conclusion and crucially includes provisions for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. He indicated that negotiations concerning Iran's nuclear program would commence at a later stage. American officials have confirmed certain aspects of the deal, emphasizing that any economic benefits Iran receives will be contingent upon its adherence to the agreed-upon obligations.

peace between Washington and Tehran has never been so close.

The conflict escalated significantly after U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran on February 28, leading to retaliatory actions by Iran against Israel and U.S.-allied states in the Persian Gulf. Despite a ceasefire in April, sporadic exchanges of fire persisted. U.S. President Donald Trump recently stated he canceled "planned strikes" on Iran due to the breakthrough in negotiations, though he later cast doubt on details reported by Iranian media.

Despite conflicting reports and internal divisions within Iran's Supreme National Security Council, where both supporters and opponents of the agreement exist, Sharif's announcement signals a potential de-escalation. The memorandum of understanding is now awaiting finalization, marking a significant diplomatic effort by Pakistan.

canceled “planned strikes” on Iran because negotiators “just reached a great agreement”, a deal that is likely to be signed soon.
