Both parties have displayed remarkable wisdom and understanding and have remained constructively engaged in furthering the cause of peace and stability. We earnestly hope, that the ‘Islamabad Talks’ succeed in achieving sustainable peace and wish to share more good news in coming days!
US Vice President JD Vance warned the truce between Washington and Tehran remained "fragile" on Wednesday as several Gulf nations endured fresh attacks just hours after the rivals agreed a two-week ceasefire.
Al Jazeera reports that: Israeli air attacks have hit several dense commercial and residential areas in central Beirut without warning, hours after a ceasefire was announced in the US-Israeli war on Iran.
The Lebanese Ministry of Health tells Al Jazeera that at least 87 people have been killed and more than 700 others wounded in Israel’s attacks on Lebanon, according to an initial toll.
Pakistan's Prime Minister issues a statement regarding violations of the US-Iran ceasefire agreement:
"Violations of ceasefire have been reported at few places across the conflict zone which undermine the spirit of peace process. I earnestly and sincerely urge all parties to exercise restraint and respect the ceasefire for two weeks, as agreed upon, so that diplomacy can take a lead role towards peaceful settlement of the conflict."
The ceasefire is on the verge of collapse, Iran is preparing to exclude Israel from the negotiation process due to the massive attack on Lebanon
Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz, which was partially open for around 10 minutes this morning, until further notice due to Israel’s attack on Lebanon – Fars
A source also tells Tasnim that Iran is preparing a retaliatory response to the Israeli attacks on Lebanon today, and that if ceasefire violations ‘persist’, Iran will cancel the 2-week agreement and not attend the planned talks in Islamabad.
US President Donald Trump announced that the United States will work closely with Iran.
He said tariff and sanctions relief are being discussed, and that many of the 15 points have already been agreed upon.
He also stated that there will be no uranium enrichment, and that the US working with Iran will remove deeply buried nuclear material under satellite surveillance.
French President Emmanuel Macron has welcomed the ceasefire between Iran and the US but warned the situation in Lebanon remains critical and urged that Lebanon be included in the deal, Reuters reports.
My U.S. government sources confirm that Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and JD Vance are expected to meet in Islamabad, Pakistan tomorrow.
Trump administration officials believe this could be a historic meeting, as the Islamic regime may potentially become a key Middle Eastern ally of the United States.
They say Ghalibaf is someone they trust to work with and believe he could help position Iran as a key U.S. ally!
Israel, which wasn’t formally part of the Iran negotiations, wasn’t happy that it got word that a deal was finalized at a late stage and wasn’t consulted, according to mediators and a person familiar with the matter.
Iranian security official noted the continuous violation of the ceasefire and may take appropriate measure.
“Following the continued violation of the temporary ceasefire by Israel against Lebanon, Iran is in the process of summarizing to carry out deterrent operations against Israeli military positions.”
AFP reports: Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi raised "ceasefire violations" by Israel with Pakistani mediators on Wednesday, an Iranian ministry statement said, as reports citing senior officials warned that Tehran could pull out of the truce over attacks on Lebanon.
Iran will withdraw from the US ceasefire agreement if Israel continues to violate it by attacking Lebanon.
Iranian parliament on Israeli aggression against Lebanon on national security said: "All plans to open the Strait of Hormuz must be stopped immediately until Lebanon is included in the ceasefire. Either there will be a ceasefire on all fronts, or there will be no ceasefire anywhere.
Lebanon is not part of the ceasefire agreement between the United States and Iran, Axios reported on Wednesday, citing White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.
While US and Israel claimed victory, Iran also claimed victory.
Tehran Stated that Iran’s Central Headquarters of Khatam al-Anbiya said Iranian armed forces gained the upper hand over the #US and "Israel" after 40 days of operations, forcing the United States and "Israel" to surrender.
It asserted that coordinated defensive and offensive operations shifted the balance in #Tehran’s favor, as the armed forces acted under directives from martyr Sayyed Ali Khamenei, where "swift and overwhelming" strikes on US and Israeli targets were launched from the very first day, inflicting heavy losses and exposing their"weakness".
The statement added, "With no trust in the American and Israeli enemies, we in the armed forces are monitoring all their movements in the region, and if they commit any new mistake, we will confront them more destructively and lethally than before."
#Iran also emphasized its control over the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, asserting that it is managed "through our own initiative and smart command."
Iran just reshaped global power dynamics — and dealt a major blow to US dominance
Before: Strait of Hormuz was freely open
Now: Iran contr0ls the flow — charging up to $2M per ship, potentially generating $100B annually
Before: Crushing US sanctions on Iran
Now: Sanctions lifted after 47 years
Before: Iran’s uranium program heavily restricted
Now: No meaningful limits remain
Before: Global oil trade dominated by the US dollar
Now: Strait of Hormuz trade shifting to the Chinese yuan — a strategic setback for Washington
Before: Iran isolated from Gulf states (GCC)
Now: Iran emerging as a dominant force in the region
Before: Iran constantly under threat of US military action
Now: Direct confrontation with the US appears off the table
Donald Trump walks away weakened, while Iran’s foreign minister rises as a strategic power player on the global stage.
