Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi declared Friday that a proposed agreement with the United States to extend the ceasefire and advance negotiations over Tehran’s nuclear program “has never been closer.” Meanwhile, Pakistan’s prime minister said mediators have reached a final agreed-upon text and are working to finalize the next steps toward a deal.
The statements marked the strongest public signals yet from Tehran and Islamabad that the emerging agreement — now being referred to as the “Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding” following months of mediation led by Pakistan and Qatar — could be finalized within days.
