Iran War: Pakistan Says Iran Deal Likely Within 24 Hours
Image: zeit.de

Pakistan, acting as mediator, says the talks on ending the US-Iran war are moving toward a deal within 24 hours. The Iranian side is urging caution, while Donald Trump has said the paperwork may be finished soon.

Why it matters

A ceasefire or peace deal would affect global security, oil shipping, and diplomacy well beyond the region. For Germany, any de-escalation in the Middle East would matter for energy markets, foreign policy, and wider European stability.

Pakistan is helping two sides try to stop fighting. It says a peace paper may be signed in about a day, like two people almost finishing a big handshake agreement.

Analysis

What Pakistan is saying

Pakistan’s prime minister, Shehbaz Sharif, said on X that finalization of an agreement is expected within the next 24 hours. According to him, Pakistan is preparing for an electronic signing of the peace agreement right after that, and technical talks are planned for next week.

Pakistan’s foreign ministry also said on X that an electronic signing ceremony is planned for Sunday. Sharif described the situation as moving closer than ever to a peace agreement and said he believes it could provide a solid basis for lasting peace.

What Washington and Tehran are signaling

US President Donald Trump shared a screenshot of Sharif’s post on Truth Social, but did not add his own comments. Earlier, Trump had said at the White House that the documents for an agreement should soon be ready and might even be signed in Europe this weekend.

From the Iranian side, foreign ministry spokesman Esmail Baghai said the signing could happen in the coming days. At the same time, he warned that the exact timing should be treated carefully because the other side is unstable. That caution suggests the deal is still not fully locked in.

What the deal would cover

Baghai said the agreement is aimed first at ending fighting on all fronts, including Lebanon, and at addressing the situation in the Strait of Hormuz. He said Iran’s nuclear program and other related issues would be put on the negotiating agenda over the next 60 days.

The article presents the process as near completion, but not yet finished. The main signal is that both Pakistan and Iran are publicly describing a signing as imminent, while also acknowledging that timing remains uncertain.

Key points

  • Pakistan says finalization is expected within 24 hours.
  • An electronic signing ceremony is reportedly planned for Sunday.
  • Trump shared Pakistan’s statement but added no comment.
  • Iran says the timing is uncertain because the other side is unstable.
  • The first goal of the deal is ending fighting, with nuclear talks to follow.
The Upside

If the signing happens, the fighting could stop on several fronts and open the door to more talks. The article says the deal could create a basis for lasting peace and later technical discussions.

The Downside

The agreement is not final yet, and the Iranian spokesman warned that the timing could still change. If the other side proves unreliable, the signing could slip or the deal could fall apart before it is completed.
