The Israel-US-Iran war began in the Middle East as early as April 28, 2026. After the conflict, there was a two-week temporary ceasefire with the mediation of Pakistan on 8 April. But this ceasefire has reached the verge of breaking as soon as it starts.
The entire matter has become complicated due to Israel’s attack on Lebanon, the dispute over the Strait of Hormuz, Iran’s rejection of the 10-point plan and the uncertainty of peace talks. Iran has refused to send its team for the talks to be held in Pakistan.
Important talks are going to be held on Saturday in Pakistan’s capital Islamabad to convert the ceasefire between America and Iran into permanent peace. Meanwhile, regional tension has further increased due to the sharp statement given by Pakistan Defense Minister Khawaja Asif on Israel. After which Israel scolded Pakistan a lot.
Now the news is that Iran no longer trusts Pakistan. According to Iranian media Fars News Agency, Iran has refused to participate in the ceasefire deal being held in Pakistan. Iran has said that it will not negotiate until the ceasefire is implemented in Lebanon. On the other hand, Israeli attacks on Lebanon are not stopping.
Controversial statement of Pak Defense Minister
Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khawaja Asif had called Israel a curse for humanity. He said Israel has committed genocide on innocent civilians in Gaza, Iran and now Lebanon. Asif said in his prayer, “May the people who built this country burn in hell.”
After this, Israel’s Prime Minister’s Office termed this statement as extremely objectionable and said that it is like challenging the existence of Israel. Especially when Pakistan is calling itself the mediator of peace talks. After this Khwaja Asif had to remove his X post.
According to reports, the US and Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire with the mediation of Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir. In this, Iran had to immediately open the Strait of Hormuz, so that global oil supply could be restored. Trump called it a decision to put a stop to the appeal of Pakistani leaders. Pakistan claimed that this ceasefire will be applicable on all fronts including Lebanon.
But within 24 hours of the announcement, reports of violations started coming in. Iran alleged that the US-Israel deal had broken the terms, while the US rejected Iran’s proposal. Israel clearly said that Iran’s ceasefire does not apply to Lebanon. Now Iran is saying that ceasefire should be implemented in Lebanon also, but is not agreeing on Israel.
