This Saturday morning (13), Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said that the United States and Iran have agreed to terms for a peace deal that would end the months-long conflict in the Middle East. Pakistan is now preparing for an electronic signature expected within the next 24 hours, followed by technical-level negotiations next week, Sharif added.

Iran first claimed that nothing was finalized yet, but changed its tone hours later: the Iranian foreign minister said that a peace deal had "never been closer." ✅ Follow the g1 international news channel on WhatsApp Points of the agreement Neither party officially disclosed the content of the new agreement.

Trump also called Iran's leaders "very dishonorable people to deal with." "With them, there is no negotiation in good faith. INCREDIBLE!

After announcing a third night of attacks and saying he intended to control Iran's oil and gas, Trump called off the offensive and said negotiators had reached a consensus on "final points" of the peace proposal. The American president also said that a definitive agreement with Tehran "may be signed over the weekend." The signing would take place in Europe and would be attended by his vice president, JD Vance, according to Trump. Trump said the "memorandum of understanding" has already been approved "by everyone in Iran," including the country's supreme leader, and that it is a great deal, "because Iran will never have a nuclear weapon."

Iran responded with attacks on a US base in Bahrain. On Wednesday (10), the USA carried out a new attack, responded by Tehran with missiles launched again at countries in the Persian Gulf.
