Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif would be really proud of himself-and he has all the reasons to be so. After all, by successfully stopping US President Donald Trump from bombing Iran “back to the stone ages,” didn’t he single handedly achieve what the UN Secretary General and many influential world leaders couldn’t? 

But that’s not all-the icing on the cake is that Sharif could get the otherwise inordinately stubborn POTUS to almost immediately accept his suggestion of extending the US deadline for Iran’s slated destruction by two weeks “to allow diplomacy to run its course.”

While Pakistan may be revelling in its new found role as an effective international peacemaker capable of bringing two extremely hostile warring sides to the negotiating table, a shoddy ‘cut and paste’ job by the Prime Minister’s Office has revealed that rather than being a negotiator, Islamabad was all along acting as Washington’s mouthpiece.

Sharif’s original post on X calling for the two-week ceasefire mentioned “*Draft-Pakistan’s PM Message on X*.” As it didn’t make any sense, this curious remark immediately [and rightly] caught public attention. Sharif’s supporters would obviously maintain that as the prime minister is a busy person, his official posts on X are compiled by the PMO........
