Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, says a US-Iran peace agreement to end the war in the Middle East is “never been closer.” Multiple outlets report his remarks on Friday, characterizing the negotiation as approaching a significant stage after what he described as a memorandum of understanding with the United States. The coverage also emphasizes that Araghchi warns against speculation over the content of any agreement before details are released.

Mint, NDTV and other outlets describe the process as fragile and ongoing, with language suggesting the agreement could be finalized and then announced through remote or staged channels prior to public disclosure. The reports situate the statements amid continuing developments related to ceasefire conditions and broader regional diplomacy. Daily Sabah similarly highlights Araghchi’s statement while noting that he cautions against reading too much into the talks’ status or the specifics.

Overall, sources agree on Araghchi’s characterization of the talks nearing a deal and his call for restraint regarding unconfirmed details.
