Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said a final, agreed text of a peace deal between the United States and Iran had been reached, with Islamabad now working with both sides to finalise the next steps on June 12.

The claim marks the furthest advance yet in a Pakistani-brokered diplomatic process that began after an April 8 ceasefire halted weeks of fighting between Iran, the US and Israel, though Washington has cautioned against premature reports of the deal's contents. Pakistan hosted the first round of direct US-Iran talks in Islamabad on April 11 and has since kept regular contact with both leaderships.

Writing on X, Sharif said his government was aware of what he described as a sustained misinformation campaign by parties seeking to derail the agreement. "Setting aside the noise, we can confirm that a final, agreed upon text of the peace deal has been reached," he said, adding that "peace has never been this close as it is now."

His remarks followed a renewed exchange of fire between Israel and Iran, the first since the April truce, after which Iran's military said it was halting offensive operations as the flare-up threatened to reignite wider conflict.

US Vice President JD Vance moved to dampen expectations around the terms, warning of false claims circulating about the negotiations. "The Iranians are not receiving any cash, and no funds are being released for simply signing a deal or attending a meeting," he said. 

Pakistan has positioned itself as the central go-between, with Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi and Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir both visiting Iran during the process.

Mediators have described the framework under discussion as a memorandum of understanding intended to extend the ceasefire and open a longer window for broader negotiations.
