Earlier, Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) and Chief of the Army Staff (COAS) Field Marshal Asim Munir visited Iran.
His talks with Iranian officials focused on diplomatic initiatives aimed at preventing further escalation and reviving negotiations.
Almost a week after this visit, United States (US) Vice President JD Vance confirmed that the US-Iran ceasefire deal is ‘very close’ to being finalised.
“We are not there yet, but we are very close and we are going to keep on working at it,” he told reporters.
Vance said negotiators are “going back and forth on a couple of language points”, which include the “question of enrichment”.
According to reports, the deal will extend the ceasefire for 60 days and launch talks on the future of Iran’s nuclear programme.
Axios, which first reported a tentative agreement between the US and Iran on Thursday, said that Trump had been briefed on the proposal but did not immediately sign off on it.
