The signing of the peace agreement between the US and Iran is expected in the next 24 hours, the Pakistani Prime Minister announces
Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said on Saturday that the United States and Iran had agreed on a framework for a peace deal to end the months-long Middle East conflict, and that the final text of the deal had already been set, Reuters notes.
According to Sharif, Pakistan, as a mediator, is currently preparing the electronic signing of the agreement, expected in the next 24 hours, after which technical level discussions will take place next week.
The United States and Iran signaled on Friday that a deal to end their war was close, with a senior US administration official saying both sides had agreed on a text and that Washington expected to sign an initial agreement in the coming days.
But soon after, the United States said it had shot down several Iranian drones targeting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz, despite optimism expressed a few hours earlier by both sides about a peace deal, writes AFP.
Switzerland has already offered to host a possible signing, while a G7 summit attended by Donald Trump is set to begin on Monday in the French town of Evian, near Geneva. But Tehran has said that once finalised, the memorandum of understanding will be signed “remotely”.
