Efforts to end the conflict involving Iran appeared to gain momentum over the weekend following announcements from Washington and Islamabad that a peace agreement is scheduled to be signed on Sunday, although uncertainty remains over whether the timeline will hold.
U.S. President Donald Trump announced through his Truth Social platform that an agreement to end the war with Iran was expected to be finalized on Sunday. Trump said the deal would pave the way for the immediate reopening of the strategically important Strait of Hormuz to international maritime traffic.
The announcement was reinforced by Pakistan, which has played a mediating role in the negotiations. Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif stated that both sides had agreed on a framework for peace and that preparations were underway for an electronic signing ceremony. He added that technical-level discussions would continue next week to address implementation details.
The development received a positive response from Saudi Arabia, which welcomed the diplomatic efforts and expressed support for negotiations being facilitated through Pakistani channels.
Despite the optimistic statements from Washington and Islamabad, officials in Tehran adopted a far more cautious tone. Iranian state media indicated that the government had not formally confirmed the reported signing schedule, effectively casting doubt on suggestions that a final agreement was imminent.
The cautious response is consistent with Iran’s approach throughout the conflict, with officials often refraining from endorsing announcements made by other parties until negotiations have been formally concluded.
Adding to the uncertainty, a senior Trump administration official acknowledged on Friday that Washington was not entirely certain the agreement would be signed as planned, saying the administration was not “100 percent” confident that all outstanding issues had been resolved.
President Trump also disclosed that the United States would work with Iran on the future removal of enriched uranium as part of a broader settlement process. However, he warned that an “ultimate alternative” remained available should negotiations collapse, underscoring the fragile nature of the diplomatic breakthrough.
The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the world’s most critical energy transit routes, carrying a significant share of global oil exports. Any agreement that guarantees safe passage through the waterway would likely be welcomed by international markets and governments concerned about global energy security and regional stability.
As diplomats and negotiators work toward a possible breakthrough, international attention remains focused on whether the parties can transform the reported framework into a formal and durable peace agreement capable of ending one of the most consequential crises in the Middle East in recent years.
