US-Iran peace deal to be signed in Geneva on Friday, confirms PM

Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif confirmed on Monday that a US-Iran peace deal is slated for signing in Geneva on Friday, with Pakistan hosting the ceremony. He praised Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar and Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi for their mediation efforts. The reported 14-point deal includes lifting a US naval blockade within 30 days, suspending restrictions on Iran's oil exports, an immediate ceasefire across multiple fronts including Lebanon, and a $300 billion reconstruction aid package from the US and its allies. Iran would also gain access to $24 billion in previously frozen assets during negotiations and $12 billion before formal talks, with the final agreement to be endorsed by a UN Security Council resolution. This significant diplomatic breakthrough, mediated by Pakistan, aims to de-escalate regional tensions and reshape international relations.
