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.

Finally, Pakistan is able to stop Iran, America war to save economy of the entire world. Therefore Pakistan has become an important country for the whole world. And Pakistan has become a big future military power for all the gulf countries.👍
Pakistan warmly welcomes the understanding reached between the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran.
This significant breakthrough reflects the power of sustained diplomatic engagement and the collective resolve of friendly nations to choose dialogue over confrontation.
It also sends a reassuring message to the international community and provides much-needed confidence and stability to global markets and the world economy, particularly for developing countries that are most vulnerable to regional instability.
Throughout this period, Pakistan remained actively engaged with all concerned parties and consistently advocated restraint and constructive engagement, maintaining that dialogue and diplomacy remain the only viable means for the resolution of all issues.
We appreciate the trust reposed in Pakistan by the leadership of both the United States and Iran and commend their commitment to remaining engaged in pursuit of a peaceful and negotiated outcome.
We are also grateful for the support and sincere diplomatic efforts of our brotherly countries, including #SaudiArabia, #Qatar,#Türkiye, #Egypt , and others, as well as the #UnitedNations and our international partners who remained closely engaged throughout this process and helped achieve this important milestone.

We look forward to the formal signing ceremony on 19 June in Geneva and remain confident that this positive development will pave the way for enduring peace, stability and shared prosperity for the region and beyond, InshaAllah.
As the #FIFAWorldCup 2026 commences in Mexico, the United States and Canada, Pakistan takes pride in playing its part in this global celebration of sport.
The official match ball, the Adidas Trionda, crafted in Sialkot through the skill, precision and craftsmanship of Pakistani workers, will feature in every match.
Pakistan may not be among the competing teams, but a piece of Pakistan will be present in every pass, every save and every goal.
We pay tribute to our skilled and semi-skilled workers whose excellence continues to earn Pakistan global recognition.
Proud of Pakistan. 🇵🇰⚽

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.

Amid ongoing intense mediation efforts by Pakistan, we are fully aware of incessant misinformation campaign being waged by those who want to sabotage the peace deal. Setting aside the noise, we can confirm that a final, agreed upon text of the peace deal has been reached and Pakistan is now working closely with both sides to finalize the next steps. Peace has never been this close as it is now.

Three Indian sailors have been killed by US strikes on oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman for trying to evade blockade.
Indian PM Modi has not yet issued any statement condemning or protesting against the killing of Indian sailors.
Yup, Fizz being fired by KKR didn't kickstart anything and shouldn't be considered as the trigger point that this political mess can be traced back to.
A very special day for football fans around the world as the 23rd FIFA World Cup kicks off today.
This global event is a celebration of sport’s unique ability to bring people together across borders, cultures, and nationalities. I extend my best wishes to the host nations USA, Canada, and Mexico, as well as all participating nations, for a successful and memorable tournament.
Pakistan is proud to be part of this global celebration through its renowned sporting goods industry. The official match balls, “Trionda”, being used at this World Cup have been manufactured in Pakistan, reflecting the skill and craftsmanship of our people.
May this tournament inspire friendship, unity, and sporting excellence across the world.
🚨IF SACHIN TENDULKAR WAS FROM PAKISTAN, ARJUN WOULD HAVE PLAYED ALL FORMATS🚨
Shoaib Akhtar :-"In India, father-in-law and son-in-law type relationships don't work in cricket board. The biggest example in front of you is Sachin Tendulkar himself. Arjun doesn't even get regular chances in the IPL, international cricket is far away. If Sachin Tendulkar had been from Pakistan his son Arjun would have already played all formats for Pakistan. In India, even Rohit is told that if you want to play cricket, go perform in domestic cricket, prove your fitness, and earn your place. That is the difference between the cricket systems of India and Pakistan.
BCCI humiliated Mustafizur Rahman and kicked him out of IPL for no reason except his nationality. Meanwhile Liton Das is taking digs at Pakistan, only country that stood by Bangladesh in all this. Make it make sense man.
