“The US and Iran are close to signing a Pakistan-drafted framework agreement to end the war”
CORROBORATED
The claim is reported by both a web search result (dated 5 hours ago) and an Axios report from May 6, 2026, stating the parties are closing in on an agreement. Additionally, Wikipedia confirms that Pakistan mediated a ceasefire in April 2026, establishing the precedent for Pakistan-drafted frameworks in this conflict.

“The proposal sets a 30-to-60-day window to negotiate details”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
While there is evidence of a 60-day deadline in 2025 negotiations (Wikipedia), there is no evidence in the provided text regarding a 30-to-60-day window specifically for the current 2026 framework agreement. The search results for 'PROPOSED' are dictionary definitions and not factual evidence for the claim.
