PM Shehbaz appeals to Trump to extend deadline for Iran to enter a deal, reopen Hormuz by two weeks

 



Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif appealed to US President Donald Trump on Tuesday to extend a deadline he had set for Iran to make a deal with Washington and reopen the Strait of Hormuz for two weeks.

PM Shehbaz’s appeal came hours before Trump’s 8pm ET deadline was about to end, with the US president having warned of wider bombing on Iranian infrastructure if Tehran fails to meet the deadline.

“Diplomatic efforts for peaceful settlement of the ongoing war in the Middle East are progressing steadily, strongly and powerfully with the potential to lead to substantive results in the near future.

“To allow diplomacy to run its course, I earnestly request President Trump to extend the deadline for two weeks,” PM Shehbaz said in a post on X.
