According to reports from Iranian media and the Al-Arabiya network, the US and Iran are said to have completed the final draft of a Pakistan-brokered agreement. The document provides for a complete ceasefire, security in the Strait of Hormuz, and the start of the gradual lifting of sanctions on Tehran.
A potentially historic development appears to be taking shape in the Middle East. Iranian media, citing the Arab network Al-Arabiya, are reporting that the final draft of an agreement between the United States and Iran has been completed with the mediation of Pakistan and that an official announcement could be made within the next few hours.
Although there has been no official confirmation from either Washington or Tehran so far, the reports have raised high expectations for a reduction in tensions after weeks of escalation in the region.
According to published information, the draft agreement provides for an immediate and complete ceasefire between the parties, as well as a commitment to avoid attacks on strategic and civilian infrastructure.
One of the most important elements of the agreement relates to security in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most important energy corridors. The draft is said to guarantee freedom of navigation in the area through a joint monitoring mechanism.
This point is considered crucial for international energy markets, as any tension in Hormuz directly endangers global oil and gas transportation.
The agreement also provides for a gradual lifting of sanctions on Iran, which will be directly linked to the level of compliance with commitments by Tehran.
According to reports, negotiations on outstanding issues are expected to resume within seven days of the agreement entering into force.
Pakistan's role in this process is seen as key. Islamabad is reported to have played the role of mediator between the two sides at a time when military tensions had reached their highest levels in recent years.
The development comes just hours after US President Donald Trump declared that the US would not allow Iran to keep its stockpile of enriched uranium and warned that there were "other options" if diplomacy failed.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio had also previously spoken of "positive signs" in negotiations with Iran, but warned against showing "excessive optimism".
If confirmed, this would be the most significant agreement between the US and Iran in years and could mark a major turning point in the crisis that has destabilized the Middle East and shaken international energy markets.
However, the lack of official confirmation from both sides still leaves room for skepticism, while international attention remains focused on any statement that may come from Washington or Tehran in the coming hours.
