Shehbaz deletes post referencing US, Iran peace deal

Shehbaz Sharif, the Prime Minister of Pakistan who is a negotiator of the peace deal between Iran and the US, seems to have deleted a post on X (formerly known as Twitter) announcing the US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding, with a reuploaded version omitting any reference to an upcoming official signing ceremony

“Pakistan with the support of co-mediator State of Qatar will host the official ceremony as scheduled on June 19, 2026, in Switzerland, to commemorate this landmark event and commence with the technical level talks,” Sharif said in a previous  post.

Earlier, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said that talks between Tehran and Washington on Friday in Switzerland are not confirmed for now, reports Middle East Eye.

“The Friday meeting was confirmed until a few hours ago, but when it was decided that the presidents of the two sides (Iran and the US) would sign the agreement, it was decided to pause consideration of the Friday meeting for now,” Baghaei said.
