July 8 (Reuters) - Pakistan urged all sides to uphold their commitments under the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding, its foreign ministry said on Wednesday, hours after U.S. President Donald Trump said the interim deal reached with Iran last month was "over".

"Pakistan urges all sides to uphold their respective commitments under the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), which remains an enduring foundation for understanding, mutual respect and shared prosperity for the region and beyond," the statement said.

Last month, the U.S. and Iran reached a 14-point interim agreement titled "Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America" to halt the war and open the Strait of Hormuz.
