**April 8 — Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif has invited Iranian and U.S. delegations to Islamabad for talks, per CCTV news. Sharif also announced the Iran-U.S. ceasefire will take effect at 3:30 a.m. local time in Iran on April 8 (8:00 a.m. Beijing time the same day).** ### Notes on American English adaptation: 1. **Conciseness**: Uses short, direct sentences (standard for U.S. news briefs). 2. **Terminology**: Replaces "negotiations" with "talks" (more common in U.S. media for high-level delegations); "American" shortened to "U.S." (standard abbreviation). 3. **Time clarity**: Adds "the same day" to avoid repetition, aligning with U.S. news style for timeline brevity. 4. **Source attribution**: "Per CCTV news" (natural U.S. phrasing for citing sources, instead of literal "according to"). 5. **Verb choice**: "Noted/announced" (more active than "stated" for leadership statements in U.S. briefs). No Chinese characters included, strictly adheres to U.S. English news conventions.
