Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says a US-Iran agreement to end the war in the Middle East is approaching its final stages. In a post on Friday, Araghchi said the “Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding” has “never been closer,” referring to the Pakistani capital where previous US-Iran talks were held. He also urged media outlets to avoid speculation about the memorandum’s contents until it is finalized.
Mediator Pakistan reports that an agreed final text has been reached. Multiple accounts say Pakistan’s prime minister stated mediators have completed agreement on the wording and are working to finalize the next steps toward a deal. While the sources describe the talks as including efforts to extend a ceasefire and advance negotiations related to Tehran’s nuclear program, they do not provide the full text or detailed terms.
Overall, the reporting centers on statements from Iran’s foreign minister and Pakistan as mediator, both indicating momentum toward a finalized agreement, with confirmation of “next steps” expected once finalization procedures are completed.
