Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif described the Iranian delegation as “very straight” and committed to promoting peace, while also calling President Trump “a man of peace.” The remarks came as US-Iran technical talks continued in Switzerland under Pakistani mediation.

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Sunday described the Iranian side as “very straight” and said its leadership had handled the Middle East crisis with “a sense of dignity” in efforts to de‑escalate tensions during ongoing talks in Switzerland. “They genuinely mean promoting peace in the region,” Sharif told reporters. “So is President Trump. I have no second thought about the fact that he is the man of peace. He has demonstrated that during the war between Pakistan and India, when the two countries were very close to a nuclear flashpoint,” he added.

Mediation role

Sharif is in Switzerland as United States and Iranian delegations hold technical negotiations following the signing of a memorandum of understanding on Wednesday aimed at ending months of conflict and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. The talks in Bürgenstock are led by US Vice President JD Vance and, on the Iranian side, Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, under Pakistani mediation.
