The United States and Iran could sign a peace deal within 24 hours, Pakistan Prime Minister Shevaz Sharif claimed Saturday.
Pakistan, which has been the primary mediator and facilitator of peace negotiations between Tehran and Washington, is prepared for an electronic signing that could happen by tomorrow, according to Reuters.
But Iran has denied any deal is imminent.
A deal to end the months-long Middle East conflict will not be signed on Sunday, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said Saturday, according to Iran state media.
However, Baghaei acknowledged that a deal could be signed in the coming days.
Some details of the apparent agreement emerged Friday with the Trump administration vowing Iran would not see any financial benefits from the deal, and would have to earn sanctions relief.
“We have structured this in a way where it’s not built around trust, it’s built around physical milestones, it’s built around action, and it’s built around verification,” a senior administration official told reporters Friday.
The Trump administration is demanding that Iran give up all their nuclear ambitions in exchange for economic relief.
A deal would see Washington unfreeze $6 billion in oil revenues being held by Qatar.
