President Trump on Truth Social: Based on the fact that discussions with the Islamic Republic of Iran have been brought to the highest level of Iranian leadership and approved, I have, as President of the United States of America, cancelled the scheduled strikes and bombings against Iran this evening. Discussions and final points have been, in both concept and great detail, approved by all parties involved, including the United States, Israel, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Turkey, Pakistan, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, Egypt, and others. The Naval Blockade will remain in full force and effect until this Transaction is finalized — Time and place of the signing to be announced shortly. #Iranwar

When police reached to detain a suspect in DG Khan, the young man climbed up a towering date palm. Out-of-shape officers — unable to scale the tree — were pleading with him to come back down.

Pakistan says "precise and calibrated Strikes were carried out along Pakistan Afghanistan Border areas on hideouts and safe havens of masterminds and planners belonging to Fitna Al Khwarij, killing twenty six Indian sponsored khwarijs."
"Four targets were completely destroyed including a training centre, a hide out & an ammunition cache and Marakiz belonging to Fitna Al Khwarij Commander Aleem Khan Khushali and Commander Akhtar Muhammad Jani Khel." #Afghanistan #TTP

In the aftermath of recent terrorist incidents in Pakistan, including terrorist attack on Federal Constabulary Post in Musa Dara on 9 June 2026, Vehicle Borne Suicide Attacks on a Military Post in North Waziristan on 2 June 2026 and Police Station in Bannu on 9 May 2026, precise and calibrated Strikes were carried out along Pakistan Afghanistan Border areas on hideouts and safe havens of masterminds and planners belonging to Fitna Al Khwarij, killing twenty six Indian sponsored khwarijs.

Based on credible intelligence, selective targeting of camps and hideouts was carried out with precision and accuracy. Four targets were completely destroyed including a training centre, a hide out & an ammunition cache and Marakiz belonging to Fitna Al Khwarij Commander Aleem Khan Khushali and Commander Akhtar Muhammad Jani Khel.

Pakistan has always strived for maintaining peace and stability in the region, but at the same time the safety and security of our citizens remains our top priority. Our relentless Counter Terrorism campaign under vision “Azm e Istehkam” (as approved by Federal Apex Committee on National Action Plan) by Security Forces and Law Enforcement Agencies of Pakistan will continue at full pace to wipe out the menace of foreign sponsored and supported terrorism from the country.

Iran's IRNA News Agency says the IRGC Aerospace Force has launched Operation Victory (Nasr), striking vital installations at the strategic Nevatim and Tel Nof air bases.
The retaliatory action comes in response to the Israeli regime's missile attacks on multiple radar sites in three regions of the country, it says. #IranWar‌

BREAKING: Israeli airstrikes have hit the Karun Petrochemical Complex in Khuzestan Province, causing damage, per Fars.

Iran has previously warned the response to any strike on its energy infrastructure would be waves of ballistic missiles toward Gulf state energy infrastructure.

BREAKING: Iran has launched a major ballistic missile and drone attack on Kuwait in response to the new US strikes, per the Kuwaiti Army. Massive explosions are now heard all the way to Basra, Iraq.

[U.S. Central Command @CENTCOM]

Moments ago, CENTCOM forces shot down four Iranian one-way attack drones that were launched toward the Strait of Hormuz. The attack drones posed an immediate threat to regional maritime traffic. U.S. forces subsequently struck Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites in Goruk and on Qeshm Island to defend against further attacks.

American forces remain vigilant and postured to respond to unjustified Iranian aggression in self-defense.

Following his conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, President Trump announced that negotiations with Iran are ongoing and that no Israeli troops will be sent to Beirut. This raises an important question:
Did the Israeli PM make the decision to send troops into Lebanon without informing or consulting President Trump?
If so, how could such a significant move take place between two close allies without prior coordination? #IranWar‌ #Lebanon

[Amjad Ali @amjadalihere]

President Trump says that no troops will go to Lebanon and Hezbollah has agreed "all shooting will stop" after a "very productive" call with Israeli Prime Minister and Hezbollah.
"Israel will not attack them, and they will not attack Israel," he says #IranWar
