Pakistan PM Sharif: "we can confirm that a final, agreed upon text of the peace deal has been reached & Pakistan is now working closely with both sides to finalize the next steps."

Surprise, surprise: Iran FM says sides "have never been closer and pending its finalisation, the media should refrain from entering speculation about its content, details to be shared in due course."

Trump on Truth Social rejects Iran's version of MoU terms (below): "What they said, including their weak & pathetic statement on having a deal, bears no relation to the truth."

Tehran: "Contrary to what is being circulated by Western media, Iran will not commit to relinquishing control of the Strait of Hormuz."

CNN speculates (prematurely, it seems) on Geneva signing of 'Islamabad Declaration' as soon as Sunday or next week.

Trump is saying what he must to keep the stock market from de-risking (selling) heading into the weekend.

Iran/Pakistan are saying what they need to say to keep the bombs and missiles from flying.

All Iran has to do is string this deal along till Trump is out of office.   Play the Orange man like a cheap fiddle.  Keep Tehran Tommy  out of the media giving statements and all is good.
