According to reports, Pakistan played a crucial intermediary role by facilitating communication between the two sides over several weeks, helping ease tensions and secure a temporary truce. U.S. President Donald Trump and Iranian officials reportedly acknowledged the efforts of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir.
International media outlets, including Al Jazeera, BBC, and The Diplomat, described the development as a major diplomatic success for Pakistan.
Following the ceasefire, Pakistan’s global reputation has seen a noticeable boost, with many Pakistanis living abroad expressing pride in the country’s achievements. Social media platforms have been flooded with posts of users sharing photos and videos holding the green passport.
