“We can confirm that a final, agreed upon text of the peace deal has been reached and Pakistan is now working closely with both sides to finalize the next steps,” Sharif posted on X, tagging both the US and Iranian presidents and other senior leaders from both countries.

“Peace has never been as close as it is now,” he added.

“Amid ongoing intense mediation efforts by Pakistan, we are fully aware of incessant misinformation campaign being waged by those who want to sabotage the peace deal,” Sharif added.

A senior Trump administration official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told reporters the US expected to sign the agreement within the coming days.

“We do expect us to be signing this agreement over the next few days. I can’t give you an exact date,” the official said.

“If I were to give you a confidence that we were going to be signing this agreement, I maybe would have said 75 per cent this morning, it’s probably more like 80-85 per cent now, but it’s not 100 per cent.”

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi also said on Friday that a deal had never been closer, after Trump accused Tehran of negotiating in bad faith.

Sources said PM Shehbaz is likely to fly to Geneva as early as Saturday, accompanied by a high-level delegation, to attend the anticipated signing ceremony.
