The biggest geopolitical story of the weekend is the accelerating US-Iran diplomatic track. Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced on June 13 that the final text of a peace deal between the United States and Iran has been agreed upon, with a formal signing expected within the next 24 hours. Multiple international outlets — from Greece’s Ethnos to Spain’s El País and India’s The Hindu — are tracking the development closely.
Significant “thorns” reportedly remain in the negotiations, though specifics have not been disclosed. The backdrop is grim: El País reported the same day on ongoing Israeli military strikes in southern Lebanon, with columns of smoke rising over the region. Any deal would mark a dramatic pivot in a conflict that has engulfed the broader Middle East. The world watches, cautiously hopeful.
