The Prime Minister of Pakistan, Shehbaz Sharif, emphasized that the United States and Iran have reached a final text of a peace agreement.

Specifically, in a post on X, the Pakistani prime minister stated that “the final, agreed-upon text of the peace agreement has been finalized,” adding that Islamabad is working with both sides on the next steps.

“Pakistan is now working closely with both sides to determine the next steps,” he said. “Peace has never been as close as it is now,” he added.

Sharif’s post in full:

“Amid Pakistan’s intensive mediation efforts, we are fully aware of the relentless disinformation campaign being waged by those who wish to undermine the peace agreement. Setting aside the noise, we can confirm that a final, mutually acceptable text of the peace agreement has been reached and that Pakistan is now working closely with both sides to finalize the next steps. Peace has never been as close as it is now.”

What the agreement includes

A senior U.S. government official revealed various points of the future agreement between the U.S. and Iran, describing the document as a fulfillment of Donald Trump’s goals in the negotiations.

Speaking to CNN, the official stated that some of the points agreed upon by both sides are as follows:

  • The opening of the Strait of Hormuz and the lifting of the U.S. blockade on Iranian ports.
  • The dismantling of Iran’s nuclear program, including the delivery to the United States of the country’s enriched nuclear material, which, according to the official, will be destroyed on the spot and then removed from Iran.
  • Iran will be “relieved of many of the economic pressures it has been under for many years,” provided it complies with the provisions of the agreement.

“These benefits will only materialize if there is genuine compliance,” the official stated.

The issue of economic relief for Iran is a key point of contention in the talks between the two sides. The official emphasized that any such relief will be possible only after Iran takes specific compliance measures.

“The Iranians gain nothing simply by signing the Memorandum of Understanding or from the negotiations themselves,” he said.

“What they gain are rewards in exchange for fulfilling their obligations under the agreement. In other words, if they hand over the nuclear material as they have committed to, they will receive something in return. If they dismantle their nuclear programs or their nuclear facilities, they will receive something different. If they truly commit to regional…”

“Our negotiating team has put us in a very good position, but let’s see—we haven’t reached the finish line yet, but we’re very close,” he said.

The official noted that the agreed terms meet Donald Trump’s key objectives and that, now, Americans are 80-85% certain that the Memorandum of Understanding will be signed in the coming days.

“The broad regional peace agreement includes Lebanon, Iran, the Gulf states, and Israel,” the official further emphasized, stating that they are certain the allies “will participate,” while stressing that this does not affect the right to self-defense. If Iran fails to fulfill its obligations, “I would not expect the Israelis to refrain from responding,” he noted.

As for possible delays in implementing the agreement, he explained: “The Iranian system is very complex. Most people in the Iranian leadership want to sign the agreement—but not everyone.”
