Pakistan is reportedly playing a mediating role in ongoing U.S.-Iran negotiations, according to Al Jazeera. While a tentative 60-day ceasefire and nuclear framework has been discussed, key issues such as President Trump’s approval and finalizing specific language remain unresolved. This involvement by Pakistan suggests active diplomatic efforts are underway, which may increase the likelihood of an agreement by the June 18 deadline. Current market data reflects these developments, with a notable increase in the probability of a U.S.-Iran agreement announcement by June 30.
