Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has asked warring parties to observe a two-week ceasefire to “allow diplomacy to achieve conclusive termination of war” in a post on X.

He has also asked US President Donald Trump to extend his deadline on Iran by two weeks and for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz during that two-week period.

A regional source said “some good news is expected from both sides soon” and that discussions were steered directly by Pakistan’s army chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir. The source added that a deal is expected to be closed tonight.

The White House said Tuesday that Trump has been made aware of Sharif’s proposed ceasefire and that “a response will come.”

Trump said that the United States is in “heated negotiations” over the Iran war, declining to elaborate on the talks.

More context: Pakistan, along with Egypt, Turkey and Saudi Arabia, has been acting as a mediator between the warring countries.

“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 near future,” Sharif said in his post, in which he tagged US and Iranian officials and negotiators.
