WASHINGTON \u2014 Pakistani Field Marshal Asim Munir is headed to Tehran on Friday in the most significant indicator so far this week that the US and Iran may be closing in on a peace agreement \u2014 as Saudi Arabian state media claim to have obtained the framework of a deal.<\/p>\n

Munir, the chief of Pakistan\u2019s armed forces, has forged a bond with President Trump, who regularly praises his work in mediating the US-Iran negotiations.<\/p>\n

The purported draft agreement between the US and Iran would reopen the Strait of Hormuz and resume peace talks within a week \u2014 but makes no mention of Tehran\u2019s nuclear program, the longstanding sticking point between the two adversaries.<\/p>\n

The omission fueled skepticism in Washington and Jerusalem, where officials have argued that Tehran has repeatedly used broader regional negotiations to sidestep pressure over its nuclear ambitions.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Among the reported provisions were commitments by both sides to avoid targeting military, civilian or economic infrastructure; ensure freedom of navigation in the strait; halt media \u201cincitement\u201d \u2014 and on the US side, gradually lift some sanctions in exchange for Iran\u2019s adherence to the agreement.<\/p>\n
