Pakistan PM says US, Iran reached peace deal

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said late on Sunday that the US and Iran had reached an agreement to end their war, adding that a formal signing ceremony is expected within days. Sharif made the announcement in a televised address from Islamabad, without providing details on the terms or the venue for the signing. The White House did not immediately confirm the claim. Iranian state media carried the report but offered no official comment from Tehran. Sharif's office said the prime minister spoke by phone with both U.S. and Iranian officials earlier Sunday. The war between the U.S. and Iran began in late 2024 after a series of escalating confrontations in the Persian Gulf.
