US, Iran Near Peace Deal

US, Iran Near Peace Deal

The United States and Iran are signaling that a peace deal to end their recent conflict is within reach, with a senior US official indicating an 80-85% chance of an agreement being signed in the coming days.

Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, a key mediator, also confirmed that a final text has been agreed upon, and both nations are working on next steps.

The proposed deal is expected to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and potentially lead to the unfreezing of Iranian assets, though specific details regarding nuclear issues are to be addressed in subsequent talks.

However, some experts caution that despite the optimism, significant questions remain unresolved.
