Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian will visit Pakistan on June 23 for a one-day official trip following Pakistan and Qatar’s mediation in the latest Iran-US talks in Switzerland.

Iranian media say Tehran is closing or keeping the Strait of Hormuz closed over alleged breaches of the Islamabad MoU, while US officials say they have not seen evidence of a physical closure.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has signed the Islamabad MoU as mediator after Donald Trump and Masoud Pezeshkian endorsed the US-Iran agreement aimed at ending hostilities and reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

Pakistan’s mediation in the US-Iran peace agreement has won Saudi credit and global recognition, strengthening Islamabad’s diplomatic position as the deal moves toward permanent settlement talks.
