Pakistan’s Sharif deletes reference to Friday signing ceremony

Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif appears to have deleted his initial post on X announcing that the US and Iranian presidents had signed the historic MoU.

In the updated version, the prime minister has omitted any reference to an upcoming official signing ceremony.

As we’ve been reporting, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said that because the document has been signed digitally, there will be no physical signing ceremony in Switzerland.

He said that negotiating teams would still gather in Geneva on Friday for the follow-up negotiations.
