Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi said on Friday a Pakistani-mediated memorandum of understanding (MoU) between Iran and the United States on ending the war "has never been closer."
In a post on social media platform X, Araghchi urged the media to refrain from speculation before the MoU's finalization.
"The Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding has never been closer. Pending its finalization, the media should refrain from entering speculation about its content," he said.
Araghchi added that "all details will be shared with the public in due course."
U.S. President Donald Trump said Thursday that the United States had "just made a great settlement of the war with Iran," with an agreement expected to be signed "over the next few days."
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei told state-run IRIB TV on Thursday that while the MoU's text was largely finalized, Washington's "contradictory" positions had repeatedly disrupted the diplomatic process.
Baghaei noted that Iranian authorities were reviewing the MoU's text in detail, and would announce a conclusion officially.

Slovak President Peter Pellegrini visited the world's first embodied intelligence robot 4S store, known as Robot Mall, at Beijing E-Town on Tuesday.
Pellegrini is paying a state visit to China from July 27 to 29 at the invitation of Chinese President Xi Jinping. He toured highlights of this year's Humanoid Robot Half Marathon Competition and interacted with humanoid and medical robots during a stop at Robot Mall.
Expressing amazement at China's robotics achievements, the Slovak president said he believes the cutting-edge technology showcased at the venue will find its way into households in the near future.
Robot Mall is designed to support the transition of robotics from technological innovation to real-world application. Its exhibition highlights how robots are entering homes and industrial scenarios, including education, delivery, companionship, entertainment, and daily services. When touring the exhibition, Pellegrini also shared his views on China-Slovakia cooperation in cutting-edge technologies.
"Slovakia is a small country, but things which are developed in China can be used already in Slovakia. So I think we have to find a way how to implement them as soon as possible into our daily life, into our companies and so on," he said.
Chinese investment in Slovakia has continued to grow in recent years, particularly in high-tech industries, green energy, and innovation-driven sectors.
Analysts say closer cooperation in modern technology and research will remain a key topic during his visit to China.
