The "final draft" of a possible US-Iran deal to end the war, reportedly mediated by Pakistan, has been leaked by Saudi network Al-Arabiya, though it has not been officially confirmed.
The report claimed that the deal could be announced within hours, but noted that it still requires approval from both sides.
The deal is reportedly an interim agreement with “outstanding issues” that will be negotiated later. These unresolved issues will be tabled for negotiations within seven days of the activating the deal.

The agreement would come into effect as soon as both Washington and Tehran confirms it officially, said the report.
However, the leaked "final draft" does not actually address key US demands, including dismantling Iran’s nuclear programme, exporting its enriched uranium stockpile, limiting its ballistic missile capabilities, or ending its support for proxy groups like the Hezbollah or the Houthis.
What does the potential nine-point agreement say?
- An immediate, comprehensive, unconditional ceasefire on all fronts, including land, sea, air
- A mutual commitment not to target military, civilian, or economic infrastructure
- An end to military operations and a halt to the media war
- Commitments to respect sovereignty, territorial integrity and non-interference in internal affairs
- Guaranteed freedom of navigation in the Arabian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf of Oman
- A joint mechanism to monitor implementation and resolve disputes
- Negotiations on outstanding issues to begin within seven days
- The gradual lifting of US sanctions in exchange for Iran’s commitment to the terms of the agreement
- Reaffirmed compliance with international law and the UN Charter
