Donald Trump has officially extended the truce with Iran following a high-stakes diplomatic intervention by Pakistan. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir personally requested the pause to prevent a direct strike. While Washington maintains a military blockade, Islamabad prepares for a decisive second round of peace talks.
Pakistan Mediates as Trump Holds Ceasefire
Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif expressed deep gratitude to Donald Trump for halting planned military action. On behalf of himself and Field Marshal Asim Munir, the Prime Minister thanked the U.S. President for prioritizing a negotiated resolution. Pakistan remains committed to facilitating a permanent end to the regional conflict through intense diplomacy.
Islamabad Prepares for Comprehensive Peace Deal
The Prime Minister is optimistic about the upcoming second round of talks in Islamabad. He hopes all parties will uphold the Trump ceasefire extension to reach a final settlement. Donald Trump confirmed on X (formerly Twitter) that the ceasefire remains active until the conclusion of negotiations. However, he emphasized that the U.S. military remains “fully prepared” and will maintain the current blockade.
Iran’s Tense Response to the Ceasefire Extension
Despite the pause in hostilities, Tehran remains defiant. Iranian state media described Trump’s announcement of a ceasefire extension as a unilateral move and rejected U.S. conditions for the talks. An advisor to the Iranian Parliament Speaker dismissed the extension as a “tactic to buy time.” He warned that the ongoing blockade is equivalent to bombardment and could trigger a military response.
