Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said a final, agreed text of a peace deal between the U.S. and Iran had been reached and that Islamabad was working with both sides on next steps. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the 'Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding' had 'never been closer' but urged media not to speculate on its contents, and Trump reposted his message.

Why it matters

It was the first time the mediator and Iran's chief diplomat both publicly signalled that the text was essentially done.
