Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday posted a statement to X thanking President Donald Trump for pausing the "Project Freedom" mission in the Strait of Hormuz, praising Trump "for his courageous leadership and timely announcement."
The decision, which Sharif said was made in response to requests from Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and "other brotherly countries," will "go a long way towards advancing regional peace, stability and reconciliation during this sensitive period," the prime minister wrote.
