Pakistan says U.S.-Iran peace deal could be finalized within 24 hours
Donald Trump reposted a screenshot of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s comment saying a U.S.-Iran agreement was closer than ever and could be finalized within 24 hours.
Fact Check
Reuters, Nikkei, Al Jazeera and FT all independently report that PM Shehbaz Sharif said on June 13, 2026 that a U.S.-Iran peace deal could be finalized within 24 hours, with Pakistan (as mediator) preparing electronic signing and expecting technical-level talks the following week — matching the claim precisely. The only nuance is Iran's Foreign Ministry tempering expectations on exact timing, but this does not contradict what Sharif himself said.
