Pakistan played a pivotal role in securing a fragile two-week ceasefire between the US and Iran.
In the final hours before the agreement, Pakistan acted as an intermediary, with sources describing intense but hopeful negotiations. The country’s Foreign Minister, Ishaq Dar, expressed optimism until recent attacks on Iran by Israel and Saudi Arabia.
Field Marshal Asim Munir criticized Iran’s strike on Saudi Arabia, calling it a setback for peace efforts.
Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif urged President Trump to extend the ceasefire deadline and called for Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz.
The ceasefire was finalized just before dawn, inviting both parties to meet in Islamabad on April 10 to finalize a lasting accord.
Despite progress, trust remains low between the two sides, and the agreement remains fragile.
