Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif called on Tuesday for adherence to the ceasefire and for allowing diplomatic space for dialogue between the United States and Iran.

Sharif said, “The ceasefire must be respected to provide the necessary diplomatic space for dialogue between Washington and Tehran.”
Iran has repeatedly stated that any passage through the Strait of Hormuz without its official permission is not possible, warning that ignoring these directives would be met with a firm response from its armed forces.
It is worth noting that the United States had imposed a blockade against Iran in the Strait of Hormuz after negotiations—held following a ceasefire in Islamabad on April 11 and 12—failed to reach an agreement.
The ceasefire between Iran, the United States, and Israel came into effect on April 8 after 40 days of fighting.
Earlier, on February 28, the United States and Israel had launched joint strikes on Tehran and other Iranian cities, prompting Iran to respond with waves of missile and drone attacks targeting Israel as well as U.S. bases and assets in the Middle East, while tightening its control over the Strait of Hormuz and restricting safe passage for vessels linked to Israel and the United States.
