Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has announced that diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict between the US and Israel regarding Iran are making progress. According to Sharif, the US President Donald Trump has been urged to postpone his previously stated deadline for a two-week pause in hostilities.
Sharif made this statement during a recent visit to Islamabad, where he emphasized the importance of continued diplomatic engagement to find a peaceful resolution to the situation. The Pakistani leader’s comments come as tensions between the US and Israel over Iran remain high.
In a separate development, Sharif has reportedly reached out to Trump with a request to delay his previously announced deadline for a two-week pause in hostilities. This move is seen as an attempt by Islamabad to buy time and continue negotiations aimed at resolving the conflict.
Details of the proposed pause are not yet clear, but it is understood that both sides have been engaged in intensive diplomatic talks. The Pakistani government has expressed its desire to see a peaceful resolution to the situation, while also emphasizing the need for continued international cooperation.
The US and Israel have maintained their positions on the issue, with neither side willing to compromise on their demands. However, Sharif’s comments suggest that Islamabad is committed to finding a solution that satisfies both parties.
