Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi hinted at a nearing peace deal with the US, despite President Donald Trump dismissing reports about the deal's terms. Araghchi and Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif expressed optimism about the deal's progress, with Sharif stating that a final agreed-upon text has been reached.
Tensions between Iran and the US escalated after a fragile truce was broken, but US officials claim a tentative deal is close, including terms for removing nuclear material from Iran and reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
The deal is expected to pave the way for the phased lifting of sanctions on Iran and the release of frozen Iranian assets. Iran has urged the media to refrain from speculating about the agreement's contents, stating that details will be made public once the process concludes.
