Pakistan-mediated talks produced claims of a finalized one-page memorandum for ceasefire, free Strait of Hormuz passage and phased sanctions relief.
Al Arabiya and some sources say announcement possible within hours with Pakistan army chief involved.
Iranian officials and sources push back hard calling it false with talks in permanent deadlock over nuclear demands.
Sticking points include enriched uranium stockpile, full nuclear curbs and no Iranian tolls on the strait.
Trump has signaled no rush but keeps military options alive.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio noted some progress yet major challenges remain.
🇺🇸🇮🇷 Al Arabiya leaked what it calls the "final draft" of the U.S.-Iran agreement.
Immediate full ceasefire, freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, no more attacks on infrastructure, and gradual sanctions relief.
Stocks spiking. Oil sliding hard.

Did we hear this before? “Al Arabiya and some sources say announcement possible within hours with Pakistan army chief involved.”
Grok: Yes, similar Al Arabiya-sourced reports on an imminent US-Iran draft deal (via Pakistani mediation, army chief visit, possible announcement “within hours”) have circulated multiple times in recent weeks.
Latest update from them: Pakistan’s army chief will **not** travel to Tehran tonight for that. Talks continue, but no confirmed final agreement or signing yet. Fluid situation—watch official statements.
