US Vice President JD Vance has sparked controversy after linking delays in releasing details of the US-Iran agreement to Pakistan's press freedom environment. The remarks came shortly after President Donald Trump signed a major agreement with Iran aimed at ending hostilities, securing the Strait of Hormuz and limiting Iran's nuclear programme. The comment has drawn attention because Pakistan played a key role in facilitating talks between Washington and Tehran, with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif describing the agreement as a historic diplomatic achievement.
