Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has called for a two-week ceasefire in the Middle East and urged more time for diplomacy between the United States and Iran. He also appealed for the Strait of Hormuz to reopen as a goodwill step, while inviting delegations to Islamabad for talks aimed at securing a broader agreement. The move places Pakistan at the centre of one of the world’s most dangerous geopolitical crises, with implications for oil markets, regional security, diplomacy and global trade.
This report looks at Islamabad’s role, the ceasefire push, and why the proposed talks matter far beyond the region. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dawn News English is your window into the latest news, insight, and features from South Asia and beyond.
