Pakistan urges Iran to reopen Hormuz, calls on Trump to extend deadline
Almost four hours before Donald Trump’s deadline for Iran, Pakistan’s prime minister called on Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz for two weeks as a goodwill gesture and urged all parties to observe a temporary ceasefire to allow diplomacy to end the war.
"To allow diplomacy to run its course, I earnestly request President Trump to extend the deadline for two weeks. Pakistan, in all sincerity, requests the Iranian brothers to open Strait of Hormuz for a corresponding period of two weeks as a goodwill gesture," he said in a post on X.
"We also urge all warring parties to observe a ceasefire everywhere for two weeks to allow diplomacy to achieve conclusive termination of war, in the interest of long-term peace and stability in the region," he added.
