Pakistan and Kuwait Urge US and Iran to Uphold Peace Agreement Amid Strait of Hormuz ClashesPreviousNext

Pakistan and Kuwait have urged the US and Iran to honor the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed last month aimed at restoring peace amid renewed fighting over the Strait of Hormuz. During a phone call between Pakistan's Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar and Kuwaiti Foreign Minister Sheikh Jarrah Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, both expressed concern over recent attacks, including damage to Kuwaiti infrastructure. They emphasized the need for de-escalation, respect for sovereignty, and full implementation of the ceasefire commitments under the Islamabad MoU, noting that technical talks have stalled as hostilities resumed.
