Israel is a terrorist state and a perpetual obstacle to peace. They’re unmatched in their dedication in flaunting treachery every single day.
Slaughtering people in Lebanon to sabotage peace with Iran was expected. Iran should retaliate as promised and we should all closely examine how Trump responds.
I am honoured to announce that the historic ‘Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding’ has been electronically signed today between the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran. The Memorandum has been signed by honourable Presidents of both the countries and also endorsed by me as the mediator. The signing of this agreement at the highest level of the respective governments demonstrates the commitment of both sides to a diplomatic resolution of the conflict. Islamabad MoU shall enter into force with immediate effect and as a first step, Islamic Republic of Iran will instantly reopen the Strait of Hormuz and the United States of America will immediately lift the naval blockade.
I offer my heartfelt congratulations and sincere appreciation to the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump whose steadfast commitment to diplomacy and preference for peaceful resolution have once again helped end a conflict that could have led to devastating consequences for the region and beyond. I also commend the dedication and tireless efforts of the United States negotiating team, including J.D. Vance, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, for their invaluable contributions to this achievement.
I express my profound respect and appreciation to His Eminence Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Islamic Republic of Iran and President Masoud Pezeshkian for their wisdom, foresight and statesmanship in embracing the cause of peace. I also wish to recognize the efforts of the Iranian negotiating team, including Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Abbas Araghchi and Eskandar Momeni, whose patience, perseverance and commitment to constructive engagement were instrumental in bringing this agreement to fruition.
I would especially like to acknowledge the sincere efforts and constructive engagement of the leadership of the State of Qatar in helping reach this point. I also highly commend the leadership of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Republic of Türkiye and the Arab Republic of Egypt for their indispensable role and invaluable contributions in this regard.
I would also like to make special mention of Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, whose tireless efforts, selfless dedication and instrumental role were critical in facilitating this breakthrough and advancing the cause of peace and regional stability.
May this Memorandum of Understanding serve as an enduring foundation for greater understanding, mutual respect and shared prosperity for the complete region.

In an unprecedented development Pakistani embassy officials in Tehran are reporting euphoria in Iran since the peace deal announcement, a wave of hope has swept across Iranian society — from university campuses to public squares. At Tehran University, Pakistani officials alongside European diplomats found the mood overwhelmingly pro-peace. Hardliners exist , but a large majority of ordinary Iranians are simply ignoring them.
But here is what no diplomatic cable could fully capture:
On the streets of Tehran, when Iranians spot Pakistani nationals among them something remarkable happens.They stop. They embrace. They chant.
“Pakistan.”
“Asim Munir.”
Spontaneously. Emotionally. From the heart of a nation that has not forgotten who stood by them when the bombs were falling.
Pakistani embassy officials in Tehran describe it as “unprecedented”, an organic outpouring of affinity for Pakistan across every segment of Iranian society, from students to citizens on the street.
By the grace of Allah, Field Marshal Asim Munir has won two wars in the span of one year. A victorious commander against India, and a triumphant diplomat with utmost patience and forbearance on the peace front — victorious on both fronts. May Allah keep this streak of victories going.
The way Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif played his role with sincerity, wisdom, and diplomatic acumen in both the war with India and the Iran-US reconciliation will be remembered in history. This is the result of dedication and sincerity.
Insha'Allah, this leadership will also emerge victorious on the economic front and in the war against terrorism.
Following intensive talks, we are pleased to announce that the Peace Deal between the United States of America and Islamic Republic of Iran has been REACHED. Both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon.
The official signing ceremony will be on Friday, 19 June in Switzerland.
We would like to thank the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran for their commitment to finding a diplomatic solution to the conflict. We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to our brothers in this mediation effort, the great leadership of State of Qatar, for their support in reaching this agreement. I would also especially thank the visionary leadership of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Republic of Türkiye for their immense contributions in this regard.
With the agreement now in place, mediators will facilitate a series of meetings this week. These pre-implementation discussions will lay the foundation for the technical talks and the official signing ceremony.

We are closer to a peace deal than ever before. With finalisation likely expected in the next 24 hours, Pakistan is preparing for the electronic signing of the peace deal immediately after, followed by technical level talks next week.
We would like to thank United States of America and Islamic Republic of Iran for their ongoing commitment during the negotiations, and we extend our sincere appreciation to our brothers in the region for their support. We are confident that this historic peace deal will form a strong foundation for lasting peace.

The announcement by President Trump about the potential peace deal is very good news.
To make the deal effective we have to be realistic about Israel.
We must recognize that a peace deal of any kind with the Iranian regime will be viewed by Israelis as an existential threat to their objectives, therefore they will seek to thwart the deal.
To stop the Israelis from thwarting a potential peace deal, we will have to take away the military support that we provide that allows them to go on the offensive against Iran, and make it clear more will be taken from them if they attack Lebanon.
Proud to present the Pakistan-made “Trionda” football during today’s friendly matches among UN diplomats, held in celebration of upcoming International Football Day 2026 and the FIFA World Cup.
With world-class footballs produced in Sialkot, Pakistan continues to play a central role in the world’s most beloved sport.
For decades, Pakistani craftsmanship has powered major global sporting events, underscoring Pakistan’s internationally recognized status as a leading manufacturer of FIFA-quality footballs.
Greatly proud of our football makers, who continue to bring laurels to the country through their exceptional craftsmanship and excellence in the art of football-making.

شیخ ادریس صاحب کا اپنے ملک اور افواج سے محبت کا اظہار اور اس کی پاداش میں جاہلوں کی جانب سے پہلے گالیاں اور پھر سفاک درندوں کی جانب سے دن دہاڑے گولیوں سے نشانہ بنانا اس بات کی گواہی ہے کہ اسلام اور ملک سے وفاداری کی قیمت بہت بھاری ہے۔
اللّہ شیخ الحدیث صاحب کی شہادت کو قبول فرمائے
At the end of This round of the visit of the Iranian delegation, H.E. Syyed Abbas Araghchi, Honorable Minister of Foreign Affairs to Pakistan at the onset of the regional diplomatic tour, which was carried out with the aim of reviewing bilateral relations and consulting on the issue of regional developments, I would like to express my sincere and wholehearted gratitude and appreciation to the government, army and people of Pakistan, especially H.E.

The failure of Israel's terrorist killings is reflected in how Iran's state institutions continue to act with unity, purpose, and discipline.
The battlefield and diplomacy are fully coordinated fronts in the same war.
Iranians are all united, more than ever before.
Finally the kind of role models Pakistani youth needs: Sualeh Arif.
Not property dealers, tax evaders, bank defaulters, rent seekers, born into wealth etc.
But a self-made kid from a middle-class family in Karachi. Studied at MIT, started a hugely impactful company, changed the way people write code, now worth over $ 1 Billion at the age of 26!

It's not just Gaza, Iran and Lebanon.
In the West Bank since October 2023, Israeli soldiers and settlers have:
Killed 1,071 Palestinians
Demolished 6,000+ homes
Built 200+ illegal outposts
No more U.S. military aid to Israel.
On my personal behalf and on behalf of Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, I sincerely thank President Trump for graciously accepting our request to extend the ceasefire to allow ongoing diplomatic efforts to take their course.
With the trust and confidence reposed in, Pakistan shall continue its earnest efforts for negotiated settlement of conflict.
I sincerely hope that both sides will continue to observe the ceasefire and be able to conclude a comprehensive ‘Peace Deal’ during the second round of talks scheduled at Islamabad for a permanent end to the conflict.

Jewish American surgeon Mark Perlmutter recounts how Israeli soldiers took two Palestinian children and buried them alive
This is the most horrifying testimony yet.
In line with the ceasefire in Lebanon, the passage for all commercial vessels through Strait of Hormuz is declared completely open for the remaining period of ceasefire, on the coordinated route as already announced by Ports and Maritime Organisation of the Islamic Rep. of Iran.
They identified the body by his teeth.
It is chilling; what we have lived through in Gaza is beyond even imagination.
We will never forget, and we will never forgive.
You know what’s the closest country to Israel in population? Papua New Guinea. Not joking. Nearly identical number of people. Imagine if our entire foreign policy was structured around Papua New Guinea.
If there were people who were Papua New Guinea First all over Congress and media. And we had given Papua New Guinea over $300 billion and people were saying it wasn’t enough! That we had spent $8 trillion on wars supporting Papua New Guinea and people said we needed one more war for them!
And if you ever criticized our ludicrous support for Papua New Guinea, everyone in media would call you an anti-Papua New Guineaist and said no one should ever talk to you again. Now, you’re beginning to see how absurd our support for Israel is.
