Shehbaz Sharif Calls for Consistency on Iran’s Missile Program

Sharif addressed reporters to clarify the scope of recent diplomatic understandings between Tehran and Washington. He emphasized that ballistic missiles were conspicuously absent from the formal memorandum of understanding between the two nations, noting that the topic simply did not arise during their negotiations.

By framing the issue as a matter of equal rights for all states, the Prime Minister signaled Islamabad's alignment with a policy of non-discrimination regarding regional defense programs. His comments serve to distance the current diplomatic framework from the contentious debate over Iran's missile development, suggesting that the existing agreements remain focused on other priorities.
