Shehbaz Sharif: US-Iran ceasefire holding despite failed Islamabad talks

Update

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said on Monday that the ceasefire between the United States and Iran is still holding and that full efforts are underway to resolve outstanding issues. He made the remarks during a brief cabinet meeting in Islamabad, with his comments cited by AFP following weekend negotiations hosted in the Pakistani capital.

The talks concluded without progress after what Sharif had described as a crucial opportunity to secure a permanent ceasefire. After the unsuccessful meetings, U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans to impose a blockade on Iranian ports, even as Pakistani officials say negotiations and diplomatic efforts continue to try to reach an agreement, as reported by SANA
