Mediator Pakistan says US and Iran expected to sign initial deal within 24 hours
Mediated by Pakistan, a deal framework includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz and lifting U.S. naval blockades, though key disputes over Iran's nuclear program persist.
- On Saturday, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced the United States and Iran have agreed on a peace deal framework, with an electronic signing expected within 24 hours to end the months-long conflict.
- Joint U.S.-Israeli airstrikes launched on February 28 initiated the war, which has killed 3,468 Iranians and 13 U.S. service members while sending global energy prices sharply higher.
- Disagreements persist over nuclear provisions, as Washington claims the deal dismantles Iran's program while Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi insists the country will retain its enriched uranium in diluted form.
- President Donald Trump on Friday dismissed leaked deal terms as "DISHONOURABLE" on Truth Social, while U.S. Central Command confirmed forces downed Iranian drones targeting commercial ships near the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday.
- Araghchi cautioned that until all issues are resolved, "it cannot be said with certainty that an understanding has been achieved," noting the signing would not occur on Sunday.
