President Trump announced that a US-Iran agreement has been scheduled for electronic signature on June 14, but references to the nuclear issue suggest some matters may still be unresolved. At the same time, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said a framework agreement has almost been reached and preparations for an electronic signing are underway: Professor Talya Iscan, Mexico-based political analyst #USIranDeal #USPolitics #MiddleEast #Geopolitics #PakistanTV

Defence Minister Khawaja Asif, responding to JAAC protests in Azad Kashmir, said dialogue begins with loyalty and full obedience to the state. He urged those pursuing an anti-state agenda to read Article 5 of Pakistan’s Constitution, which requires unwavering loyalty from every citizen, and also cited a verse from Surah Al-Ma’idah. #KhawajaAsif #AzadKashmir #NationalUnity #PakistanPolitics #PakistanTV

A senior US senate leader involved in the peace process said the core conditions of the earlier Iran deal framework remain intact, including restrictions on uranium enrichment and broader regional security concerns. President Trump’s approach differs significantly from previous efforts, and a prolonged conflict could carry political consequences as the US heads towards the November midterm elections: Khurram Shahzad, US-based senior journalist @JawadTehami #IranDeal #USPolitics #MiddleEast #Geopolitics #PakistanTV

Former NBA Most Valuable Player James Harden was arrested in Houston, Texas, on a misdemeanor charge of unlawful carrying of a weapon, according to court documents. Harris County records show he was taken into custody early Saturday after an unconcealed handgun was reportedly spotted inside his Mercedes. #JamesHarden #NBA #Houston #BreakingNews #PakistanTv

Both sides are expected to seek guarantees, with the US insisting that some reference to the nuclear issue be included in the draft. The draft has not yet been seen, but the Prime Minister has said it is almost agreed upon. It is hoped that it will be signed within 24 hours, followed by a 60-day discussion period for a long-term understanding on sanctions, nuclear and other issues: Naghmana Hashmi, former ambassador #USIranTalks #NuclearDeal #Diplomacy #MiddleEastNews #PakistanTv

Any unfreezing of Iranian assets would likely be gradual and conditional, linked to nuclear commitments and regional conduct. Progress could lead to phased sanctions relief, aiming to support Iran’s economy while ensuring security safeguards remain in place: Javed Malik, former ambassador @JawadTehami #IranSanctions #IranEconomy #Geopolitics #MiddleEastPolicy #PakistanTv

I welcome this measure as a positive and encouraging step by the government towards providing relief from supertax. Income is already subject to taxation, and supertax effectively adds an extra layer on top of it. Raising the threshold and reducing the rate simultaneously is a constructive move: M.

One of the factories that I visited in Sialkot, it had a workforce of nearly 2,000 to 2,200 and they are producing balls by every minute. It is not the effort of one or two individuals, but the collective hard work of thousands, working tirelessly from morning till night to keep production going: Abdullah Hammad, correspondent, Pakistan TV #Sialkot #MadeInPakistan #SportsIndustry #FootballManufacturing #PakistanTV

The key question is how long it will take to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and for shipping to resume safely. Much depends on whether shipowners feel confident enough to transit through the route again. Before the Iran conflict began, there was already excess crude supply in the market, which helped soften the initial economic impact of the crisis. However, it will still take time for production wells to be reopened, for damage to be properly assessed, and to determine how much output can realistically return in the short term: Masha Kotkin, US-based geopolitical analyst #Iran #StraitOfHormuz #OilMarkets #EnergyCrisis #PakistanTv

We have seen this pattern before. Oil markets are largely driven by market expectations about future prices. When a deal appears close and normal conditions seem likely to return, investors anticipate increased production and smoother transportation, which in turn leads them to expect oil prices to settle back towards normal levels: Paul Fritch, Senior Fellow, MEIS #OilPrices #CrudeOil #EnergyMarkets #GlobalEconomy #PakistanTv

We're already seeing the impact. Following the announcement of a potential US-Iran deal by President Trump, Brent crude prices fell by nearly $10 and are now hovering around $85, or below $90. US markets also responded positively: Faiz Rehman, US-based foreign affairs expert @FaizRehmanDC @Mahnurqureshi #USIranDeal #BrentCrude #OilPrices #GlobalMarkets #PakistanTV
