During the Iran-Iraq War, Pakistan repeatedly acted as a mediator between the United States and Iran.
"Pakistan will continue its peace efforts with utmost sincerity and we hope to host the next round of talks very soon," Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif wrote on X.
Donald Trump claimed on Saturday that only the final details of a peace deal remained to be discussed. A source told the AP that significant progress had been made between the parties, even though it has also been said on previous occasions that an agreement was close.
Donald Trump said, among other things, that the agreement would reopen the Strait of Hormuz. A few hours later, the regime-loyal Iranian news agency Fars reported that the agreement would give Iran the opportunity to control the strait. Reuters described the claim that the agreement would soon be finalized as “incompatible with reality.”
