What happened today in one line: Pakistan rebranded itself in front of the entire world, without a campaign, without a consultant, without a budget. Just by doing what it has always been capable of doing, while everyone assumed it couldn't.

While the entire world is crediting Pakistan for the US - Iran agreement, there is one country in the region which has small men governing its big offices which continues to shy away and giving Pakistan the credit where its due — Not that Pak needs any validation but it shows the other sides grace, if they have any.

Hours before the Pakistan PM's announcement, it all seemed doomed...almost. It was around 3:40 PM Pakistan time on Sunday when reports emerged of Israeli strikes in Beirut. In Washington, it was still nighttime. Just a day earlier, Trump had announced that a virtual peace deal with Iran would be signed on Sunday. Iran, however, had yet to formally commit to the timeline, although both Islamabad and Washington remained hopeful. The fresh Israeli strikes in parts of Beirut suddenly set off alarm bells. It was clear that Netanyahu intended to derail the peace process. Iran began threatening retaliation while some Israeli journalists were already reporting that Iranian missiles could be heading toward Israel. The idea of a virtual signing had emerged precisely because an in-person ceremony would take time to arrange and could provide spoilers with an opportunity to undermine the process. But the Beirut attack now threatened even the virtual deal. Iran refused to sign immediately, insisting that it would first observe Israel's behavior before committing to the accord. That triggered serious concern in Islamabad and other capitals that had invested heavily in the diplomatic effort and were eager to carry it across the finish line. That was when Pakistan reached out to all stakeholders, particularly Iran, with a proposal... if Tehran was unwilling to sign the deal virtually, then at least agree on an exact date, time, and venue for the formal ceremony. After some initial hesitation, Tehran agreed. Soon afterward, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif posted a statement on X announcing that a peace deal had been reached. Iran and the United States had agreed to end military operations across all fronts, including Lebanon. The message was deliberate to make it clear to Israel and hardliners elsewhere that the deal would happen, come what may. Pakistan had managed to salvage the situation at the last minute. And this was not the only moment when it felt as though the entire process was about to collapse. There were several other occasions when the prospects looked bleak. Those details, however, I have saved for a more important assignment. And when they eventually come out, they will make for a fascinating read. ........

It was Pakistan that announced the US–Iran peace deal. The world owes Pakistan big time.

Well Done Pakistan 🇵🇰

“The Deal with Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete. Congratulations to all!” President Donald J. Trump 🇺🇸

Amid ongoing intense mediation efforts by Pakistan, we are fully aware of incessant misinformation campaign being waged by those who want to sabotage the peace deal. Setting aside the noise, we can confirm that a final, agreed upon text of the peace deal has been reached and Pakistan is now working closely with both sides to finalize the next steps. Peace has never been this close as it is now. @realDonaldTrump @JDVance @SecRubio @SteveWitkoff @SEPeaceMissions @drpezeshkian @araghchi

BREAKING Pakistan has dropped a first hint of potential deal since Trump's latest claim. Foreign Minister @MIshaqdar50 spoke today with EU High Representative/Vice President @kajakallas on recent developments regarding United States–Iran understanding. "Both sides welcomed the progress achieved through sustained diplomatic engagement and expressed hope that these efforts will soon lead to a durable understanding and peaceful resolution," says the foreign office readout.

President Trump just told me an agreement with Iran has been "pretty much all wrapped up." It comes after I exclusively reported this morning that Tehran submitted a finalized MOU to Qatari mediators last night.

باریک واردات۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔ وزیراعظم کے مشیر @RanaSanaullahPK کا ایک بیان گزشتہ روز نظر سے گزرا جس میں انہوں نے کہا کہ @JAAC__Official کے مطالبات میں آئین اور الیکشن ایکٹ میں درج اس حلف نامے میں تبدیلی بھی شامل تھی جس میں پاکستان سے وفاداری اور ریاست جموں و کشمیر کے پاکستان سے الحاق کے عزم کا اظہار کیا گیا ہے، پہلے یہ بات ناقابلِ یقین لگی، لیکن تھوڑی بہت تحقیق اور دستیاب دستاویزات کا جائزہ لینے پر معلوم ہوا کہ عوامی ایکشن کمیٹی نے واقعی اس حوالے سے آئینی و قانونی ترمیم کا مطالبہ کیا ہے۔ 20 اپریل 2026 کو عوامی ایکشن کمیٹی کی جانب سے پیش کیے گئے آٹھ آئینی و قانونی مطالبات میں سے چھ مطالبات ایسے ہیں جن پر عمومی طور پر کسی کو کوئی اعتراض نہیں ہوسکتا، تاہم مہاجرین کی 12 نشستوں کے خاتمے اور حلف نامے میں تبدیلی کے مطالبات نے سوالات کو جنم دیا اور عوامی حقوق کی تحریک کے پس منظر اور سمت کے بارے شکوک و شبہات پیدا کئے۔ آزاد جموں و کشمیر کے آئین کے مطابق صدر، وزیراعظم اور اراکینِ اسمبلی اس حلف کے پابند ہیں جس میں واضح طور پر درج ہے۔ "That I will remain loyal to the country and the cause of accession of the State of Jammu and Kashmir to Pakistan." اسی طرح آزاد کشمیر کے الیکشن ایکٹ میں مزید وضاحت کے ساتھ درج ہے۔ "I solemnly declare that I believe in the ideology of Pakistan, the ideology of state's accession to Pakistan and the integrity and sovereignty of Pakistan." اس کے برعکس عوامی ایکشن کمیٹی نے جس متبادل حلف کی تجویز دی، اس میں کہا گیا۔ "Mandatory oath of loyalty by candidates and elected members of the Legislative Assembly to the geographical unity and integrity of the State of Jammu and Kashmir." بادی النظر میں دونوں حلف ناموں کا تقابلی جائزہ لیا جائے تو فرق واضح دکھائی دیتا ہے، یہی سوال جب ہمارے دوست صحافی @danishirshad89 نے عوامی ایکشن کمیٹی کے مرکزی رہنماؤں شوکت نواز میر اور امجد علی جان کے سامنے رکھا جب یہ شقیں پہلے سے آئین اور الیکشن ایکٹ کا حصہ ہیں تو انہیں تبدیل کرنے کی ضرورت کیوں پیش آئی، تو متعدد بار اصرار کے باوجود شوکت نواز میر اور امجد علی خان کوئی کوئی تسلی بخش جواب نہ دے سکے، یہ انٹرویوز آج بھی دانش ارشاد کی فیس بک وال پر موجود ہیں۔ سوال یہ ہے جب کسی تحریک کی جانب سے ایسے مطالبات سامنے آئیں جو ریاست کے آئینی، قانونی اور نظریاتی ڈھانچے سے متعلق حساس نوعیت کے ہوں تو ریاستی اداروں اور ریاستی مشینری کی توجہ اس جانب جانا ایک فطری امر بن جاتا ہے، بنیادی حقوق، سستی بجلی، عوامی فلاح اور انتظامی اصلاحات کے مطالبات پر عوامی ایکشن کمیٹی کو نہ صرف پاکستان بلکہ دنیا بھر سے حمایت حاصل ہورہی ہے، لیکن جب ان مطالبات کے ساتھ ایسے نکات بھی شامل ہوجائیں جو ریاستی وفاداری کے حلف اور پاکستان سے الحاق کے مؤقف جیسے حساس معاملات کو چھیڑتے ہوں تو پھر سوالات بھی اٹھتے ہیں اور تشویش بھی جنم لیتی ہے، شاید یہی وہ مقام ہے جہاں عوامی حقوق کی جدوجہد اور سیاسی و نظریاتی ایجنڈے کے درمیان لکیر دھندلانے لگی ہے، ایسے میں ذمہ داری تحریک کی قیادت پر عائد ہوتی ہے کہ وہ ابہام دور کرے، اپنے مؤقف کی وضاحت کرے اور عوام کو یہ یقین دلائے کہ بنیادی حقوق کی جدوجہد کسی اور سمت میں نہیں جارہی ہے۔

A few minutes ago, the Honorable Pakistani Minister of Interior, my dear brother H.E. Mohsin Naqvi, congratulated me on the achievements of the negotiations with the officials of my country after returning from Tehran. With conservative optimism, we can hope that, if the other side is adequately committed, a positive stride is taking shape which is the result of the positions of the Islamic Republic of Iran based on dignity, the steadfastness of the courageous armed forces and the resistance of the brave Iranian nation, as well as the initiative and dedicated endeavours of the Pakistani mediator. I hope that the sincere efforts of the esteemed Pakistani government and army, especially H.E. Prime Minister Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Seyed Asim Munir NI(M), HJ, COAS & CDF, for the initiative of mediation, and Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister H.E. Muhammad Ishaq Dar and Interior Minister H.E. Mohsin Naqvi, for their sincere diplomatic efforts, will lead to lasting peace in the region. On my behalf, i extend my sincere and wholehearted gratitude to all of them for their sincere endeavours.

With @abdullahsultan and @humaamirshah live on @geonews_urdu discussing President Trump’s visit to China and the ongoing deadlock in the Iran war.

President Xi Jinping held talks with U.S. President Donald J. Trump. President Xi noted that transformation not seen in a century is accelerating across the globe, and the international situation is fluid and turbulent. The world has come to another crossroads. Can China and the United States overcome the Thucydides Trap and create a new paradigm of major-country relations? Can we meet global challenges together and provide greater stability for the world? Can we build a bright future together for our bilateral relations in the interest of the well-being of the two peoples and the future of humanity? These are the questions vital to history, to the world, and to the people. They are the questions of our times that the leaders of major countries need to answer together. President Xi stressed that the two countries have more common interests than differences, success in one is an opportunity for the other, and a stable bilateral relationship is good for the world. We should be partners, not rivals. We should help each other succeed and prosper together, and find the right way for major countries to get along well with each other in the new era. I look forward to our discussions on major issues important to our two countries and the world, and working together with you to set the course and steer the giant ship of China-U.S. relations, so as to make 2026 a historic, landmark year that opens up a new chapter in China-U.S. relations.
