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.

28 May 1998 was a defining moment in our national history - a day when Pakistan demonstrated to the world that it would never compromise on its sovereignty, security, dignity, or right to self-defence.
As we commemorate Youm-e-Takbeer today, we pay glowing tribute to Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, who laid the foundation of Pakistan’s nuclear programme, and to Quaid Muhammad Nawaz Sharif, whose bold, courageous, and resolute leadership in May 1998 transformed that vision into reality despite immense international pressure.
We also honour Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan, Dr. Samar Mubarakmand and the countless brilliant scientists, engineers, valiant armed forces personnel, and all those associated with the nuclear programme, whose dedication, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment made Pakistan’s defence invincible.
Youm-e-Takbeer remains a symbol of national unity, unwavering resolve, and the collective strength of all elements of national power in safeguarding Pakistan’s independence while ensuring peace and strategic stability in the region.
On this historic day, let us renew our pledge to build a strong, prosperous, united, and self-reliant Pakistan founded on faith, unity, and discipline.

مریم نواز کی حکومت نے لاہور کا نقشہ بدل دیا ہے، پرانے لاہور کو دوبارہ تعمیر کیا جارہا ہے، داتا دربار اور نیلا گنبد کے بعد لاہور بدل جاےَ گا۔ مال روڈ کی تمام بجلی کی تاریں انڈر گراونڈ ہوگئ ہیں، جوہر ٹاون جو بارش میں جوہڑ ٹاون بن جاتا تھا، وہاں سیورج لائین بچا دی گئ ہے۔ لاہور میں بلیو لائیں کی تیاری مکمل ہے۔ لاہور میں انڈر گرونڈ پانی کے لیے 12 زیر زمیں ٹینک بن گےَ ہیں۔
لاہور میں پانی بے 12 فلٹر پلانٹ لگ گئے ہیں جو پانی کو صاف کر کے نہر اور راوی میں گرتے ہیں۔ پالوشن پر قابو پالیا گیا ہے
کیا یہ نکمے بزدار دور میں ممکن تھا؟ کیا عمران نے اپنے چار سالہ دور میں لاہور میں ایک بھی پراجیکٹ کیا تھا؟
٘مریم نواز کے دور میں لاہور میں رہنا ایک اعزار کی بات ہے۔
جیے مریم نواز
Pakistan may be accidentally building one of the world’s first decentralised #solar economies. The craziest part? Real scale barely shows in official stats. Imported 51.5 GW solar panels by late 2025—nearly = entire grid. Yet registered net-metered rooftop solar just 5.3–6.8 GW.
What makes this story so extraordinary is the speed.
In only a few years, Pakistan appears to have gone from a relatively minor solar market to potentially sourcing around a quarter of its electricity from solar once distributed generation is included.
👉 ~16.6–17 GW solar imports in 2024
👉 ~18 GW solar imports in 2025
👉 ~51.5 GW cumulative imports by late 2025
👉 Rooftop solar: ~1.3 GW → 4.1 GW in 2024
👉 ~5.3–6.8 GW registered rooftop solar in 2025
👉 24+ GW estimated behind-the-meter/off-grid
👉 Solar potentially ~25% of actual electricity use
The massive gap between imported panels and officially registered systems strongly suggests tens of gigawatts are now operating quietly on homes, farms, factories and businesses across the country.
This increasingly looks less like a normal energy transition and more like large-scale consumer-led grid defection.
And economics is driving nearly all of it.
Electricity tariffs surged. Diesel prices climbed. Blackouts remained common. Meanwhile ultra-cheap Chinese solar panels and falling battery prices made self-generation economically irresistible.
So millions effectively made the same calculation:
Generate your own power, or remain trapped inside an expensive and unstable system.
Once solar becomes cheaper than the grid itself, adoption can move faster than governments, utilities and even official statistics can keep up with.
This isn’t gradual transition by any stretch. It may ultimately become a blueprint for how energy-poor nations break free from legacy old-world energy systems dominated by fossil fuels and increasingly expensive centralised power.
It’s decentralisation at escape velocity.
This is #Bettrification.
I am grateful to President Donald Trump for his courageous leadership and timely announcement regarding the pause in Project Freedom in the Strait of Hormuz.
President Trump's gracious response to the request made by Pakistan and other brotherly countries, particularly the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and my dear brother Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia H.R.H Prince Mohammed bin Salman, will go a long way towards advancing regional peace, stability and reconciliation during this sensitive period.
Pakistan remains firmly committed to supporting all efforts that promote restraint and a peaceful resolution of conflicts through dialogue and diplomacy. We are very hopeful that the current momentum will lead to a lasting agreement that secures durable peace and stability for the region and beyond.

The UAE has deported tens of thousands of Pakistanis belonging to the Shia sect, not only deported them, but also took away all their wealth, bank accounts, and & hard earned assets, and sent them literally empty handed back to Pakistan.
Asim Munir needs to stop trying now. He must not ask the U.S. nor Iran for any other confidence-building measures. Let the skies fall. He is risking his own credibility. For Iran to snub him like they did after he took the unprecedented move of flying into Iran, he must understand that if he stays on this path then the Americans will start snubbing him too. Back off. Let them fight. And prepare to defend your allies.

DEEP INTEL: Who is Pakistan’s Gen. Asim Munir? Praised by Trump for his leadership, the Field Marshal is a former spy chief with deep ties to Iran's IRGC—a connection one expert calls a "massive red flag" for the Trump admin. Report by @EfratLachter https://t.co/Fx7C74Klt4
سچ مانیں تو نوبیل پرائز برائے امن کا کوئی حقدار ہے تو وہ پاکستان ہے۔ بڑھاپے میں سبز ہلالی پرچم کو سرخرو ہوتے دیکھ لیا۔ اللہ بھلے اب عمران خان کو اوپر بلا لے۔
With Iran's inevitable robust defense and steadfast resistance, with ceasefire accessible in Lebanon, and with previously Open Straits Hormuz opened again;
Now giving Diplomacy a chance through intense Pakistan initiatives, paves the ground, more or less, for comprehensive, unified and united efforts to establish permanent peace and collective security, sustainable development, progress and prosperity for All in the region and beyond.
Reliable Trust, Goodwill, avoiding redundancy in action and words, RESPECT, "Practical Will to Action" as well as particularly Synergy among the countries of the region can bridge the existing gaps to achieve the significant goals.
The intelligentsia, politicians schooars and media can play a significant role in helping bridge the current chasm towards convergence.
