Pakistan Facilitates Ceasefire Between the US and Iran

United States President Donald Trump announced a two-week ceasefire with Iran following nearly six weeks of conflict, which has resulted in over 2,000 casualties and significant oil supply disruptions. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi confirmed the ceasefire, crediting Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir for their mediation efforts. Key issues remain unresolved, including the transit through the Strait of Hormuz and Iran’s uranium enrichment, with formal talks expected to begin in Islamabad soon.
