It is an outdoor venue in the center of town. Free to the public. Praia da Tocha is super small.

You think there's an agreement? Where is it? What credible third party has seen it or witnessed anything in regard to it?

Credible sources. The American news media is actually reporting what the Trump administration is saying and what the Iranian government is saying as if either of these can be trusted. And Pakistan as a credible third party? Please. This is market manipulation.

You should stop and apply standard denotations and connotations of the concepts that follow to the reality of the situation. I think you will find the word "headed" creates an inaccurate statement.
