  • Conflicting reports emerge regarding a potential US-Iran deal to end the war, with Pakistan claiming a final text has been agreed upon.
  • President Trump dismisses Iran's leaked terms as "fake news" and criticizes European allies.
  • Markets react positively to the prospect of an end to the conflict, with oil prices falling.

An agreement between the United States and Iran to end the ongoing war remains shrouded in uncertainty, with conflicting reports fueling speculation. Early reports suggested a memorandum of understanding was set to be signed in Geneva on Sunday, with US officials Vance and Ghalibaf potentially present.

Fake news that has nothing to do with the agreed-upon terms in writing. They had better get in line quickly!

However, US President Donald Trump quickly cast doubt on these claims, dismissing terms leaked by Tehran regarding Hormuz, sanctions, and Lebanon as "fake news." He issued a stern warning, stating, "They had better get in line quickly!" Trump also took aim at European and G7 nations, calling them "irrelevant" and asserting that the US had won the war without their assistance.

Adding to the confusion, Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced via X (formerly Twitter) that a "definitive and agreed text of the peace agreement" had been reached. This statement contrasts sharply with Trump's dismissive remarks.

We can confirm that a definitive and agreed text of the peace agreement has been reached.

Despite the conflicting official statements, financial markets responded positively to the prospect of an end to the conflict. Stock markets surged to new highs, while oil prices experienced a significant drop, reflecting investor optimism about a potential de-escalation.

The Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding has never been closer to conclusion. Pending its finalization, the media should refrain from speculating on its content. In line with our responsible and transparent approach, all details will be shared with the public at the appropriate time.
