What happened
Pakistan mediated a summit between the United States of America and Iran, resulting in the signing of the "Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding" on June 17, 2026,. Under this agreement, the United States agreed to issue sanctions waivers through the Treasury Department for Iranian crude oil, petroleum products, and related services, including banking and insurance, until sanctions are terminated. Separately, Pakistan facilitated the repatriation of Iranian nationals via Karachi.

Why it matters
The sanctions waivers allow for the export of Iranian oil and petroleum products, which Federal Minister for Petroleum Ali Pervez Malik stated Pakistan is considering purchasing. Malik noted that the government implemented significant reductions in petrol and diesel prices, providing consumers with greater relief than seen in global markets.
Pakistan previously mediated a peace deal that allowed ships to carry Iranian crude oil after the United States of America authorized the removal of a naval blockade.
