Pak PM thanks Trump for announcing pause on Hormuz operation

Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday thanked US President Donald Trump for announcing a pause in the operation in the Strait of Hormuz.

His statement came hours after President Trump suspended “Project Freedom” to escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz, claiming progress in negotiations with Iran toward an agreement to end the war.

“I am grateful to President Donald Trump for his courageous leadership and timely announcement regarding the pause in Project Freedom in the Strait of Hormuz,” PM Shehbaz, who is making efforts for permanent peace between the countries, said in a social media post on X.
