The development has been widely seen as a small but important step toward keeping dialogue alive.
Ceasefire Extension Confirmed
According to official statements and reports, the ceasefire involving the US and Iran has been extended to allow more time for negotiations. The extension was reportedly granted after Pakistan’s leadership requested additional time for diplomatic engagement.
Pakistan’s Role in Diplomacy
Pakistan has been playing a mediator role in ongoing talks between Washington and Tehran. Officials believe continued dialogue is necessary to prevent further escalation. The country’s leadership has emphasized peaceful resolution and stability in the region.
PM Shehbaz Expresses Gratitude
In a message shared on social media platform X, PM Shehbaz Sharif thanked Donald Trump for what he called a “gracious acceptance” of Pakistan’s request. He also expressed hope that both sides would continue observing the ceasefire and move toward a broader peace agreement.
Hope for Next Round of Talks

Global Attention on Developments
