ALBAWABA - A clip has gone viral on social media, capturing the moment the Pakistani Prime Minister was informed that the Iranian delegation had withdrawn from talks with the United States.
PM Shehbaz Sharif arrived in Switzerland along with the head of the military, Asim Munir, for a peace meeting between the United States and Iran on Sunday. Pakistan was a main mediator in stopping the conflict, which was sparked on Feb. 28, 2026, and reaching a memorandum of understanding (MoU).
After 80 minutes from the beginning of the talks, the Tehran delegation walked out of the room following threatening comments made by U.S. President Donald Trump and the Israeli military's aggression in Lebanon.
It is worth noting that it is unclear if or when formal negotiations will resume, as discussions are reportedly underway.
According to Iranian media, negotiators did not reach the topic of nuclear negotiations before Iran's representatives left the place.

Pakistani PM shocked after Iranian delegation's talks withdrawal:
A video gained wide views, especially on X, showing the facial reaction and the shock Shehbaz Sharif was in when he was told Iran walked out of the peace talks following threats by Donald Trump and escalation in Lebanon.
Iran refused to join talks or agree on a peace deal if Lebanon is not included in the ceasefire. Israel is rejecting calls to withdraw from southern Lebanon or even stop attacks.
"The feelings of shock and disappointment on the face of Pakistan's Prime Minister, after he was informed by the Iranian delegation that they are leaving after Trump threatened them."
