What we’ve seen today from Ben Stokes and @englandcricket is one of the most shameful, selfish and self-indulgent acts committed by any sporting team. They’ve insulted their opponents, their hosts at NCCC and the cricketing public.
پیٹرول کی قیمتوں میں کمی پر آئل کمپنیوں کا شور !
حکومت کی جانب سے پیٹرولیم مصنوعات کی قیمتوں میں 18 سے 20 فیصد کمی کے بعد آئل کمپنیوں نے 105 ارب روپے کے نقصان کا دعویٰ کرتے ہوئے شدید احتجاج کیا
دلچسپ بات یہ ہے کہ جب قیمتوں میں اضافے کے باعث انہی کمپنیوں کو ذخیرہ شدہ اسٹاک پر غیر معمولی منافع حاصل ہوا تھا تب کسی قسم کی شکایت سامنے نہیں آئی 🤨
مگر اب قیمتوں میں کمی کے بعد نقصان کا رونا فوری طور پر شروع ہو گیا ہے 🤔
@SaleemFarrukh Cooperation with Iran will also be helpful for CPEC which needs to be revived our ports need to be operationalised further so the vessels dont have to go deeper into the persian gulf

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.

Monday thought: In this summer of ironies and surprises, who would have imagined a Pakistani PM announcing a US-Iran peace deal the world had been waiting for?
In a world turned upside down, yesterday’s cross-border terror sponsor can suddenly project itself as today’s peacemaker. And we, the aspiring ‘Vishwaguru’, watch from the sidelines, busily breaking parties and manufacturing a LS majority. 🙏
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.
