He further thanked the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran for their “ongoing commitment during the negotiations” and appreciated regional partners for their support, expressing confidence that the agreement would contribute to long-term stability.
Meanwhile, further diplomatic and technical preparations are underway ahead of the expected signing, with discussions continuing on implementation mechanisms and post-agreement frameworks.

The effort is being credited to the leadership facilitating dialogue between the United States and Iran, including Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, who have played a role in enabling continued engagement between key stakeholders.
