India, July 4 -- Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Saturday described the mediation process between warring United States and Iran as a 'very difficult' and 'complicated' task. He hoped for a peace between the two sides which had been in a state of perpetual war for nearly four months before Washington and Tehran signed an interim peace deal, the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding.

"It has been a great honour to play the role of mediator to bring truce between the US and Iran. It was a very novel undertaking, but also a very difficult and complicated task," Sharif said during an interview with Turkey's state media TRT in Istanbul. Track updates on Khamenei funeral in Iran
