The Prime Minister of Pakistan, Shehbaz Sharif, has requested this Tuesday from the President of the United States, Donald Trump, to extend by two additional weeks the ultimatum set for the authorities of Iran, when only a few hours remain until it expires and on a day marked by the increase in Washington's threats if Tehran does not comply with its conditions.
For his part, Trump has been informed of Pakistan's proposal and an official response is expected in the coming hours.
The head of the Pakistani Government has urged “the Iranian brothers” to, reciprocally, reopen the Strait of Hormuz, closed in response to the attacks by the United States and Israel against its territory, “during that same two-week period, as a gesture of goodwill.”
In the same message, Sharif has called on "all belligerent parties to respect a ceasefire everywhere for two weeks to allow diplomacy to achieve the definitive end of the war, for the sake of long-term peace and stability in the region."
His statements come after Trump warned that “an entire civilization will die tonight” just hours before his ultimatum to Tehran concludes if it does not accept his demands and allow the transit of ships through the strait.
