The world's attention is once again focused on the Middle East and Islamabad. The tense situation between the US and Iran has taken a new turn. A ceasefire agreement reached on April 8, which was about to expire, was unexpectedly extended. Zamin.uz presents the latest and most sensational details of this political drama.
Unexpected Decision: Pakistan's Mediation Role
On the night of April 22, as the truce was nearing its end, US President Donald Trump issued an unexpected statement. According to him, Washington has decided to temporarily halt plans to attack Iran. This was due to the personal request of the Commander of the Pakistan Armed Forces, Field Marshal Osim Munir, and the country's Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif.
Trump emphasized that sharp disagreements have arisen within the Iranian government. The Pakistani side requested that military actions not commence until the Tehran leadership develops a unified and clear proposal.
Blockade Continues: Military Alert Unchanged
Despite the truce extension, Trump ordered the US army not to relax:
Strait of Hormuz: The naval blockade will continue with the same strictness as before.
Combat readiness: American forces are ready to strike at any moment.
Tehran's Sharp Rejection: 'Wasting Time'
While the American side claims to have extended the deadline, Iran's Tasnim news agency depicts a completely different picture. According to reports, although Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei had previously authorized negotiations, Tehran has completely abandoned the second phase of talks in Islamabad.
The Iranian side accused the US of 'hindering a rational agreement' and 'setting excessively high demands,' calling dialogue with Washington a waste of time.
Diplomatic Failure: Vance's Visit Canceled
The complexity of the situation is also confirmed by the indefinite postponement of US Vice President James David Vance's planned visit to Islamabad. The White House officially acknowledged this cancellation.
We remind you that during the first phase of negotiations, influential figures from the US side such as Jared Kushner and Steven Uitkoff participated, while from the Iranian side, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and Abbas Araghchi were present. However, that meeting ended without results, leading to Trump's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
Dear readers, do you think Pakistan's intervention can truly extinguish the flames of war, or is this just a temporary peace? How will Iran's refusal to negotiate affect the situation?
