Baghaei, quoted by Iran's IRNA, said that reports regarding the time and place of the deal's signing remain speculative and that nothing has been finalized.
He added that a significant portion of the negotiation text has been finalized, but the US has repeatedly changed its positions during the talks.
US President Donald Trump stated that a deal could be signed as early as this weekend, even as Tehran stated it has not yet made a final decision on the pact.
"We just reached a great settlement of the war with Iran," Trump told reporters at the White House on Thursday.
"The Strait will officially open as soon as we sign, which could happen soon, very soon, maybe over the weekend in Europe," he said, adding that US Vice President JD Vance would be present for the signing of the deal.
When asked if Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei had approved the deal, Trump replied: "My understanding is the answer is yes."
Since mid-March, Trump has repeatedly claimed that a deal with Iran to end the war is close. This week, the parties exchanged strikes, complicating the truce announced in April.
