Pakistan’s Sharif deletes post referencing official signing in Switzerland

Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif initially posted on X about the US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding, including details about an official signing ceremony planned for 19 June 2026 in Switzerland. However, he later deleted the post, and a revised version omitted any mention of the upcoming signing. Earlier, Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson stated that recent talks between Iran and the US in Switzerland were not yet confirmed.

Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif seems to have deleted a post on X 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 19 June 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.

"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.
