On Wednesday, Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif called on U.S. President Donald Trump to extend the deadline for Iran to lift its blockade of Gulf oil by two weeks. Sharif noted that Pakistan has been facilitating discussions between Iran and the United States, but no agreement has yet been reached. He expressed hope that this extension would allow diplomatic efforts to continue effectively. In his message, Sharif also urged Iran to consider reopening the Strait of Hormuz for the same duration as a gesture of goodwill, highlighting the importance of cooperation in resolving the ongoing tensions surrounding Gulf oil supplies.
