WASHINGTON (AP) — Pakistan says that the deal to end the war in Iran is taking 'immediate effect' after both sides have signed it, but that there will still be a formal signing ceremony on Friday.
Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said leaders of both the U.S. and Iran had signed the agreement and endorsed him as a mediator.
He said in a post on X that the deal "shall enter into force with immediate effect and as a first step, Islamic Republic of Iran will instantly reopen the Strait of Hormuz and the United States of America will immediately lift the naval blockade."
