A social media post by Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, urging US President Donald Trump to delay military action against Iran, triggered a storm of controversy after users spotted what appeared to be a drafting error suggesting external authorship.
The controversy centres on Sharif's post on X, where he appealed for a two-week extension to allow diplomacy in the West Asia conflict. Shortly after it was published, users circulated screenshots of the post's edit history showing it initially carried the line: "Draft - Pakistan's PM Message on X."
