🚨 Jaecoo J7 PHEV Shutdown Incident Turns into Rs. 36 Lacs Repair Bill! 🚨
A Jaecoo J7 PHEV recently broke down in the northern areas due to a warning message and had to be recovered. Upon inspection, it was discovered that a connector linked to the high-voltage battery system was damaged. The company claims the whole battery pack needs replacement at a shocking cost of Rs. 36 Lakh.
The situation as it stands at 1930 PST
1. Formal response from Iranian side about confirmation of delegation to attend Islamabad Peace Talks is still awaited.
2. Pakistan as the mediator is in constant touch with Iranians and pursuing the path of diplomacy and dialogue.
3. Ceasefire ends at 4:50 am PST, 22 April. Decision from Iran to attend the talks before the end of two weeks ceasefire is critical.
4. Pakistan has made sincere efforts to convince the Iranian leadership to participate in the second round of talks and these efforts continue.
Vice President JD Vance and the US delegation will land in Pakistan within hours, President Trump just told me — adding that he was willing to meet with senior Iranian leaders if a breakthrough is reached. https://t.co/AoYYJBBjJW
@ashaqeens Landing in an active war zone requires both courage and high operational readiness.
Pakistan has simply surpassed the UN’s role in securing this ceasefire for the world and highly anticipated peace deal. 🇵🇰🕊️
PRESS SEC on U.S.-Iran negotiations: The Pakistanis have been incredible mediators and we really appreciate their friendship and efforts to bring this deal to a close.
The President feels it's important to continue to streamline this communication through the Pakistanis.
Delighted to welcome Field Marshal Munir to Iran.
Expressed gratitude for Pakistan's gracious hosting of dialogue, emphasizing that it reflects our deep and great bilateral relationship. Our commitment to promoting peace and stability in the region remains strong—and shared.
“You should stay there, really, because something could be happening over the next two days, and we’re more inclined to go there,” President Trump told me of Islamabad. “It’s more likely, you know why? Because the field marshal is doing a great job.” https://t.co/UlLIC7djB8
This morning JD Vance and his delegation departed Islamabad, Pakistan, after 21 hours of talks with the Iranians failed to secure a peace deal. What is negotiating with the Iranians actually like? I sat down on Thursday with former Secretary of State @ABlinken, who helped steer policy on Iran under both the Biden and Obama administrations:
.@VP in Islamabad, Pakistan: "We’ve had a number of substantive discussions with the Iranians. That’s the good news. The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement — and I think that’s bad news for Iran much more than it's bad news for the United States of America."
🚨 BREAKING: The US DID NOT reach an agreement with Iran, JD Vance says it's "bad news" for IRAN
"They have chosen not to accept our terms."
"We've been at it for 21 HOURS. We've had substantive discussions...bad news is, we have not reached an agreement."
"That's bad news for Iran much more than bad news for the USA."
Thank you for pushing hard, JD! America First.
Today, Pakistan is making its mark on the global stage. Despite persistent propaganda from adversaries and hostile elements claiming that peace talks would never happen, the reality tells a different story. As a BBC correspondent noted, regardless of the final outcome, this itself is a significant success for Pakistan.
Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar:
- Hopes US and Iran would engage constructively in peace talks as US delegation landed in Pakistani capital
- Reiterates Islamabad's desire to continue facilitating parties to reach "lasting and durable solution to the conflict"
