Today is the first day of the Rest of my life.

Hours before the Pakistan PM's announcement, it all seemed doomed...almost.

It was around 3:40 PM Pakistan time on Sunday when reports emerged of Israeli strikes in Beirut. In Washington, it was still nighttime. Just a day earlier, Trump had announced that a virtual peace deal with Iran would be signed on Sunday.

Iran, however, had yet to formally commit to the timeline, although both Islamabad and Washington remained hopeful.

The fresh Israeli strikes in parts of Beirut suddenly set off alarm bells. It was clear that Netanyahu intended to derail the peace process. Iran began threatening retaliation while some Israeli journalists were already reporting that Iranian missiles could be heading toward Israel.

The idea of a virtual signing had emerged precisely because an in-person ceremony would take time to arrange and could provide spoilers with an opportunity to undermine the process.

But the Beirut attack now threatened even the virtual deal.

Iran refused to sign immediately, insisting that it would first observe Israel's behavior before committing to the accord.

That triggered serious concern in Islamabad and other capitals that had invested heavily in the diplomatic effort and were eager to carry it across the finish line.

That was when Pakistan reached out to all stakeholders, particularly Iran, with a proposal... if Tehran was unwilling to sign the deal virtually, then at least agree on an exact date, time, and venue for the formal ceremony.

After some initial hesitation, Tehran agreed.

Soon afterward, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif posted a statement on X announcing that a peace deal had been reached. Iran and the United States had agreed to end military operations across all fronts, including Lebanon.

The message was deliberate to make it clear to Israel and hardliners elsewhere that the deal would happen, come what may.

Pakistan had managed to salvage the situation at the last minute.

And this was not the only moment when it felt as though the entire process was about to collapse. There were several other occasions when the prospects looked bleak.

Those details, however, I have saved for a more important assignment.

And when they eventually come out, they will make for a fascinating read.

اگلی بار شہبازشریف سے ملاقات کرنے جاؤ تو ایک ٹانگ گردن میں پھنسا لینا اور پھر آہستہ سے دوسری بھی گردن میں پھنسا لینا، اگر کوئ مشکل ہو تو مزمل اسلم کو کہہ دینا کہ مدد کرے، پھر فوٹوگرافر کو بولنا کہ اب تصویر بناؤ۔ آخر بیوقوفی اور جاہلیت میں PHD کر رکھی کوئ مذاق تھوڑی ہے۔

فیلڈ مارشل عاصم منیر نے ایک سال کے عرصہ میں دو جنگیں اللہ کے فضل سے جیت لیں ۔ بھارت کے خلاف فاتح سپہ سالار اور امن کے محاذ پہ کمال صبرو تحمل سے فاتح سفارت کار ، دونوں محاذوں پہ سرخرو۔ اللہ ان فتوحات کا سلسلہ جاری و ساری رکھے۔
وزیر اعظم شہباز شریف نے جسطرح خلوص،دانش و معاملہ فہمی کے ساتھ بھارت کے سا تھ جنگ اور ایران امریکہ مصالحت دونوں مرحلوں پہ کردار ادا کیا وہ تاریخ ساز ھے۔
یہ توازن اور ملک کے مفاد میں یکسوئ کا نتیجہ ھے کہ اللہ کا کرم جاری و ساری ھے۔

انشا ء اللہ یہ قیادت معاشی محاذ اور دھشت گردی کے خلاف جنگ میں بھی سرخرو ھو گی۔

Deeply grieved by the tragic crash of a Pakistan Air Force trainer aircraft near Mardan during a routine training sortie. We pay tribute to Flight Lieutenant Muhammad Qasim Abdullah (PAF) and Lieutenant Taha Abbasi (Pakistan Navy), who embraced Shahadat in the line of duty.

Heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families. May Allah grant the departed highest ranks in Jannah and give strength to their loved ones in this difficult time.

[Kamran Yousaf @Kamran_Yousaf]

From the brink of a wider war to what PM Shehbaz calls the dawn of a new peace.

The road to the Iran-US deal was anything but smooth, with obstacles at every turn. Yet diplomacy prevailed.

Pakistan will host the historic signing ceremony in Geneva on June 19 👇

مری میں ہماری گاؤں میں ایک فیملی کے 21 کنال پر tourism department سیکشن 4 لگا کر زبردستی قبضہ کر رہی ہے۔ مری میں تو مقامی لوگوں کی زمینیں ہیں ہی بہت کم۔ ٹورزم کے نام پر اس زیادتی کو روکا جائے۔

We are banning social media access for under 16s.

These days kids must find their feet in a world where technology intrudes into every area of their life.

I just can’t let that go on anymore. So we’re giving children their childhoods back.

I spoke to many Pak officials in the last few days and I had info that one group inside the IRGC was trying to sabotage the peace deal again and was adamant not to give a deal on Trump’s birthday. This was corroborated by countless tweets and news pieces by pro-IRGC accounts that had started bashing Araghchi, Ghalibaf, Pezeshkian and many others who are seen internally as pro-peace actors. Then Israel decided to bomb Southern Beirut on the eve of Trump’s birthday to bait the Iranians once again and sabotage the peace deal.

Eventually the hawks lost. We did get the declaration on Trump’s birthday after all - first communicated by Pak’s PM, then endorsed by Trump and then by Iran. In the lead up to this, we saw multiple Iranian officials close to the supreme leader who started taking a pro-peace stance. Mohsin Naqvi’s tweet before the announcement saying “God is the Greatest” was a clear sign that hawks in both Iranian and Israeli camps had been crushed. Allahu Akbar, indeed!
