Iranian Ambassador

Islamabad, The Gulf Observer: Iranian Ambassador to Pakistan Reza Amiri Moghadam called on Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday to discuss the evolving regional situation following the extension of the ceasefire between the United States and Iran.

According to the Prime Minister’s Office, the meeting focused on recent regional developments and ongoing diplomatic efforts aimed at maintaining peace and stability.

The discussions came a day after US President Donald Trump announced an extension of the ceasefire with Iran, following a request by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Chief of Army Staff and Chief of Defence Forces Syed Asim Munir.

In a statement shared on Truth Social, President Trump said the truce—previously set to expire within hours—would remain in effect until Iran presents a comprehensive proposal and negotiations reach a conclusive outcome.

Officials said Wednesday’s engagement in Islamabad reflects Pakistan’s continued diplomatic outreach and efforts to support dialogue and de-escalation in the region amid evolving geopolitical dynamics.
