The United States and Iran have agreed to prolong the ceasefire established under the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding, extending the truce before the 60-day deadline expired, according to a Pakistani source quoted by Anadolu Agency.

The ceasefire was reached after Pakistan stepped up diplomatic efforts to help ease tensions between Washington and Tehran, with Islamabad playing a key role in facilitating dialogue that led to the agreement.

Since the truce took effect, Pakistan has remained in close contact with both sides in an effort to preserve regional stability and encourage continued diplomatic engagement.

As part of these efforts, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi recently travelled to Tehran, where he delivered a message from the Government of Pakistan to the Iranian leadership, reaffirming Islamabad’s support for dialogue, de-escalation, and a peaceful resolution of regional disputes.

The extension of the ceasefire is expected to provide both countries with additional time to pursue diplomatic discussions and reduce the risk of renewed hostilities.

While neither the United States nor Iran has formally announced the extension, the reported agreement signals continued commitment by both sides to maintain the truce and keep diplomatic channels open.
