00:20The Middle East may be on the verge of a dramatic turning point after months of war,
00:27missile strikes, oil shocks and brinkmanship in the Strait of Hormuz.
00:32Reports now suggest a final draft agreement between the United States and Iran could be announced within hours.
00:40The intense diplomatic activity is unfolding across the region as global markets and world leaders brace for what could become
00:49one of the most consequential geopolitical deals of the year.
00:53At the center of the latest push is Pakistan.
00:56According to diplomatic sources, Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir has departed for Iran as Islamabad ramps up mediation efforts between
01:06Tehran and Washington.
01:08At the same time, Pakistan's Interior Minister Mohsin Naqfi held another round of urgent talks in Tehran with Iranian Foreign
01:17Minister Abbas Araqchi.
01:19It was their second meeting in less than 24 hours.
01:23Sources say the discussions focused on narrowing the remaining gaps between Iran and the Trump administration.
01:30Naqfi's visit was not publicly announced beforehand, highlighting the sensitivity and urgency of the negotiations.
01:37During his trip, he also met Iranian President Masoud Pazeshkian and other senior officials as diplomatic channels intensified behind closed
01:47doors.
01:48Meanwhile, Gulf powers are also stepping in.
01:51The United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Qatar have reportedly urged President Trump to avoid further military escalation and give
02:01diplomacy more time.
02:03Officials familiar with the discussions say Gulf leaders warned that renewed conflict with Iran could devastate regional economies and send
02:12oil markets into chaos.
02:13And the markets are already reacting. Oil prices rose sharply Friday, snapping a three-day losing streak.
02:21Brent crude climbed above $105 a barrel, while U.S. benchmark crude hovered near $98.
02:29The rise came after fresh Iranian comments about uranium stockpiles and continued uncertainty around the Strait of Hormuz.
02:37That narrow waterway through which roughly 20% of global oil flows remains central to the negotiations.
02:45An Emirati official told AFP there is now a 50-50 chance of a U.S.-Iran agreement focused on stabilizing
02:54the Strait and preventing future disruption.
02:57But major challenges remain.
03:00Iran continues demanding sanctions relief, security guarantees, and recognition of its regional interests.
03:08Washington, meanwhile, is pushing for restrictions on uranium enrichment and guarantees for freedom of navigation.
03:15Diplomats say both sides understand the economic and political costs of continued escalation.
03:22And tonight, with mediators shuttling between capitals and world markets watching closely,
03:28the question is no longer whether diplomacy is happening.
03:32The question now is whether this fragile opening can finally produce a deal.
03:54It's not as there is a true idea when somethings go away.
03:56Oh, you're a bad coach.
04:02The solution has accomplished 6th takiego feudsman.
04:02Can we will think there are excellent customers faster than such opportunities?
04:02Whether they help reaching thelica on Israeli PM or 12 repρό
