Pakistani media report that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is expected to meet Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei today in Tehran. The meeting would follow a reported visit by Sharif to Islamabad earlier this week and is the latest in a flurry of regional diplomacy involving Pakistan, Iran, and the United States.
Pakistani media reports now indicate that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is expected to meet Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei in Tehran today, Wednesday, June 24. The report, circulated in Israeli media-monitoring channels, cites Pakistani sources but does not specify a precise time or venue. The original timeline had the meeting scheduled for next week; today's reports advance the meeting to occur today.
As The Zioneer reported on Tuesday evening (June 23), Sharif first claimed at 19:22 Jerusalem that he had received a personal invitation from Khamenei to visit Tehran next week (version 1). By the same evening, he was reported to be planning to pay respects to the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei during the visit (version 2), and then specifically identified Khamenei as the leader for the meeting (version 3). By 22:13, The Zioneer reported that the meeting with Khamenei was confirmed for next week (version 4). The progression from a personal invitation claim to a scheduled meeting has been reported without on-record confirmation from Iranian or Pakistani official sources.
The meeting follows a reported meeting between Sharif and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian in Islamabad on Tuesday evening, as The Zioneer reported (June 23, 22:45 Jerusalem). This diplomatic activity comes amid a broader regional push involving Pakistan, Iran, and the United States — including reported Pakistani mediation efforts and a reported Trump-Khamenei meeting request.
The report of today's meeting remains unconfirmed by official Pakistani or Iranian channels. No venue or timing in Tehran has been specified, and the only sourcing remains a Pakistani media claim.
