The world is officially on standby for what could be the most significant foreign policy victory of the decade. According to exclusive diplomatic intelligence obtained by CNN-News18’s internal security editor Manoj Gupta, a historic peace deal to end the grinding, 80-day West Asia war is scheduled to be signed this Sunday in Geneva, Switzerland.

The choice of Geneva provides a strategic, neutral backdrop for an agreement that mainstream commentators insisted was completely out of reach. Dubbed either the “Islamabad Accord” or the “Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding (MoU),” the framework has successfully brought the primary combatants to the table on terms heavily favored by the United States’ unyielding stance on regional security.

The Signatories: Who is Putting Pen to Paper?

Unlike past half-measures, this deal targets the root of the regional escalation. Diplomatic sources in both Tehran and Islamabad confirm that the framework features four primary signatories representing the core lines of the conflict:

• The United States & Iran: Establishing a verified, performance-based cessation of hostilities and a pathway to resolve economic and maritime blockades.
• Israel & Lebanon: Formally ending the fierce cross-border rocket exchanges that have served as a major roadblock to peace over the last two months.

The scale of global backing for this deal is immense. To ensure the agreement holds, a powerful coalition of regional heavyweights will be present in Geneva to sign on as official witnesses, including Pakistan, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, Egypt, Bahrain, and Oman.

Demonstrating the gravity of the moment, Pakistan’s top leadership—including Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Field Marshal Asim Munir, and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar—are scheduled to fly directly to Geneva tomorrow morning. High-level sources confirm that U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance and Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf are both expected to personally witness the historic signing.

Navigating the Economic and Domestic Pressures

The sudden momentum toward a Sunday signing reveals how effectively economic reality has forced both sides to abandon total-war postures. Military analysts like Major General A.K. Siwach point out that neither nation could afford a prolonged war of attrition.
