Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has postponed his planned visit to Switzerland, where he was expected to attend the signing of a long-anticipated peace agreement between the United States and Iran aimed at ending the Middle East conflict. A spokesperson for the Prime Minister’s Office confirmed the decision on Thursday, citing that the memorandum of understanding (MoU) had already been signed electronically and was now in the implementation phase.

According to spokesperson Mosharraf Zaidi, Pakistan will continue to support the subsequent strategic stages of the agreement’s implementation. In a post on social media, Shehbaz Sharif stated that the MoU would take immediate effect, with Iran reopening the Strait of Hormuz and the United States lifting its naval blockade. The accord was signed by US President Donald Trump at the G7 summit in Versailles, witnessed by French President Emmanuel Macron and other leaders.

The agreement outlines steps toward lifting sanctions on Iran, reopening maritime routes, and establishing a $300 billion reconstruction fund. However, both US and Iranian officials cautioned that the deal remains preliminary and could collapse if commitments are not upheld.
