US-Iran peace deal can be signed within 24 hours: Pak PM Shehbaz Sharif

Signalling an end to the US-Iran conflict that entered its 106th day and claimed thousands of lives, Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said that a peace agreement between the two nations can be signed in the next 24 hours. However, Iran contradicted his claim, adding that no deal will be signed on Sunday.

Taking the issue to X (formerly Twitter), Sharif wrote, “We are closer to a peace deal than ever before. With finalisation likely expected in the next 24 hours, Pakistan is preparing for the electronic signing of the peace deal immediately after, followed by



technical-level talks next week.”

Expressing gratitude to both countries, which have been locked in tensions for over three months, Sharif thanked the United States and Iran for their continued engagement in the negotiations and acknowledged the support of regional partners. He said the agreement would serve as the basis for long-term peace and stability.

But Iran was quick to deny the timeline suggested by the Pakistani Prime Minister. Top officials in Tehran argued that a deal is unlikely to be signed on Sunday, adding that the schedule has not yet been fixed.
