In a dramatic turn of events, U.S. President Donald Trump took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to announce a "FULL AND IMMEDIATE CEASEFIRE" between India and Pakistan, following a tense spell of cross-border escalations. Trump claimed the ceasefire came after a long night of high-level talks mediated by the United States.
’Common Sense and Great Intelligence’ Donald Trump Announces Ceasefire
“After a long night of talks mediated by the United States, I am pleased to announce that India and Pakistan have agreed to a FULL AND IMMEDIATE CEASEFIRE. Congratulations to both Countries on using Common Sense and Great Intelligence,” Trump posted, praising both nations for showing restraint and wisdom during a period of mounting hostilities.
The announcement comes after days of conflict that saw targeted attacks
The announcement comes after days of conflict that saw targeted attacks, drone infiltrations, and rising casualties on both sides of the border. Defence experts had earlier warned that any further escalation could spiral into a broader regional crisis, prompting urgent diplomatic backchannel interventions.
While neither New Delhi nor Islamabad has yet officially confirmed the ceasefire, sources close to the Indian Ministry of External Affairs indicate that backdoor diplomatic engagements had intensified over the past 24 hours, with the U.S. playing a pivotal role.
This development may mark a temporary pause in the ongoing hostilities, but analysts caution that sustained peace will require more than a ceasefire — it will demand trust-building, accountability, and a crackdown on terror elements operating across the region.
