The Pakistani government announced that the United States and Iran have agreed to draft a deal to end the war, following three days of intense military exchanges between Iran, the US, and Israel. - The agreement to draft a peace deal was reached during back-channel talks mediated by Pakistan.
- The conflict escalated earlier this week with Iran launching strikes against US and Israeli positions, prompting retaliatory attacks. - US and Iranian officials have not yet confirmed the announcement, and analysts urge caution.
- The international community has reacted with hope and skepticism, calling for a verifiable ceasefire. The next steps will be critical as the draft deal could mark the first major step toward ending the conflict, though past negotiations have often collapsed.
