The United States has announced an extension of its ceasefire with Iran, a decision reportedly made at the specific request of Pakistan’s leadership, signalling ongoing efforts to de-escalate regional tensions.
US President Donald Trump communicated this decision via a social media post, stating that military actions would be paused. This halt is conditional upon Iranian leaders and their representatives presenting a unified proposal and bringing ongoing discussions to a conclusive end.
The appeal for the prolonged pause in attacks was made by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir. This development underscores Pakistan’s active role in regional mediation and stability efforts.
