Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday announced that an immediate ceasefire has been agreed between Iran and the United States, along with their allies, saying it applies "everywhere including Lebanon."
In a statement on X, the prime minister said the ceasefire has taken effect immediately.
"I warmly welcome the sagacious gesture and extend deepest gratitude to the leadership of both the countries and invite their delegations to Islamabad on Friday, 10th April 2026, to further negotiate for a conclusive agreement to settle all disputes," Sharif said.
The prime minister said both parties had demonstrated "remarkable wisdom and understanding" and voiced hope that the upcoming "Islamabad Talks" would lead to sustainable peace.
