Amidst the ongoing tension in the Middle East, Israel and Lebanon have agreed to implement a ceasefire on Wednesday. However, both the countries have clarified that this ceasefire will be effective only when the Iran-backed organization Hezbollah completely stops attacks and firing. This information was given in a joint statement issued after the US-led talks in Washington.

Agreement reached on implementation of ceasefire

According to the joint statement, Israel and Lebanon have agreed to implement a ceasefire. However, both countries stressed that for the ceasefire to be successful, it is necessary to completely stop all types of military activities and attacks by Hezbollah. It is noteworthy that there are no formal diplomatic relations between Israel and Lebanon, but talks are going on between the two sides regarding regional stability.

Decision to create “Pilot Zone” also

During the talks, both countries also agreed to establish “pilot zones” in some specific areas. These areas will be under the control of only the Lebanese Armed Forces and no non-state armed group will be allowed to carry out activities there. The joint statement said that security and administrative responsibility in these areas will be completely in the hands of the Lebanese Army.

Talks will be held again in June

According to the statement, both sides will meet again for talks in the week starting June 22. During this, political and security related issues will be discussed. The aim of the talks is to reach a comprehensive and permanent agreement between the two countries.

No outside interference on Lebanon’s future

The joint statement said that all participating countries have confirmed that the future of relations between Israel and Lebanon will be decided only by the two sovereign governments. The statement also said that no country or non-state organization should be allowed to hold Lebanon’s future hostage. This is being seen as a hint towards Iran and its ally Hezbollah.

Trump also claimed that tension has reduced

This talk took place at a time when a few days ago US President Donald Trump had claimed that both Israel and Lebanon have committed to reducing tensions. However, despite ongoing talks at the political level, the struggle at the ground level has not stopped completely.

Attacks continued despite ceasefire agreement

Despite the agreement on ceasefire, the series of attacks between Israel and Hezbollah continues. On Wednesday, Hezbollah claimed to launch missile attacks on northern Israel. Lebanon says that at least nine people were killed in Israeli attacks in southern Lebanon, including two paramedics.

The war that has been going on for more than a month between America and Iran may end and the Strait of Hormuz may also open now. Actually, America and Iran have got a plan to end the war, which includes a two-phase agreement. US President Donald Trump had already expressed hope that Iran could be ready for a deal by Monday.

According to Reuters, Iran and America have received a plan today (Monday), which includes approval of the plan to end combat operations in the Middle East. The special thing is that there is no legal mention of Iran’s reaction in this information. The information has been reported citing American media and Pakistan. Its final agreement will be completed in 15 to 20 days.

Asim Munir was in touch with Vance-Wittkoff and Araghchi: Report

This draft has two phases, which include a comprehensive agreement after the immediate ceasefire. News agency Reuters, quoting a source, said that Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir remained in constant contact ‘throughout the night’ with US Vice President JD Vance, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi to discuss the initiative.

US-Iran considering proposal

Both America and Iran are reviewing this agreement proposed by Pakistan. However, it has been made clear by Tehran that if there is a temporary ceasefire, the Strait of Hormuz will not be reopened, meaning the oil and LPG crisis will continue in Asia and European countries.

Hormuz will not open if temporary ceasefire: Iran

A senior Iranian official said, ‘Iran will not reopen the Strait of Hormuz under the temporary ceasefire. Tehran will not accept any pressure or deadline to take a decision.

The Axios report claimed that America and Iran were considering a 45-day ceasefire, after which the path to peace in the Middle East would have progressed. However, now the complete draft of ceasefire has come out. It has been told that currently both the sides will implement ceasefire, the complete draft will be revealed in the next 15 to 20 days.

What did Pakistan say on the draft ceasefire?

Pakistan Foreign Ministry spokesperson Tahir Andrabi has refused to confirm or deny reports that Pakistan has proposed a framework to end the ongoing US-Israel war on Iran. Andrabi told Al Jazeera, ‘There have been many reports of a 45-day ceasefire proposal or 15-point exchange. We do not comment on these individual, specific incidents. We say that the peace process is going on.

Events happened after Trump’s threat
This development comes after President Trump threatened Iran to open Hormuz by Tuesday. Trump had given this warning, in which he expressed disappointment over the stalling of talks. Trump has given Tehran a final deadline to reopen Hormuz. This deadline, which was originally scheduled to end on Monday evening, has been extended by 20 hours and now its new deadline has been set at 8 pm Eastern Time (ET).

Tension on the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan is once again on the rise. The ongoing clashes between the two countries have not only shaken the border areas but have also destabilized the security situation of South Asia. In the latest development, a 48-hour ceasefire has been declared after the conflict between the two armies in the Spin Boldak area, but before this ceasefire, some videos went viral on social media, which heated up the entire controversy.

Just hours before the ceasefire, some videos surfaced on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), purportedly showing Taliban forces capturing Pakistani tanks. Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid claimed that his fighters responded to Pakistani shelling, killing several Pakistani soldiers, destroying some military installations and capturing Pakistani tanks and weapons. It has been claimed that the tanks shown in the video were actually Soviet-era T-55 tanks, which are part of the Afghan Army’s old stock and have been in use since the 1980s. People are considering the viral video as AI generated. For this reason ABP News does not verify the video. On the other hand, Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khawaja Asif completely denied this claim and said, “We do not have the tanks that they are calling ours.” Perhaps he might have bought those tanks from a scrap dealer.

Background of border skirmishes

These clashes started when Pakistan’s security positions were attacked from the Afghan border. Pakistan responded with air strikes, after which the situation became more serious. Spin Boldak, which is located in the south-east of Afghanistan, has always been a disputed area between the two countries. Dozens of soldiers and civilians were killed in fighting last weekend. A statement issued by Afghanistan said that their forces killed 58 Pakistani soldiers in operations conducted overnight, while according to Pakistan the number was only 23. Pakistani officials, in retaliation, claimed that they had captured 19 border posts of Afghanistan.

Ceasefire and diplomatic efforts

After continuous clashes, both the countries signed a 48-hour ceasefire agreement. Islamabad said that this ceasefire is an opportunity for constructive dialogue and finding a peace solution. At the same time, Afghanistan also accepted the ceasefire, but it repeated the allegation on Pakistan that Islamabad had first started the clash by carrying out air strikes. According to the report of news agency AFP, local residents of Spin Boldak are now gradually returning to their homes from where they had fled during the fighting. However, the situation on the border still remains tense and there are reports of heavy military deployment from both sides.

Just hours before the attack, US President Donald Trump had announced that Israel and Hamas had agreed on the first phase of ceasefire. According to him, “As soon as the Israeli government approves this agreement, the war will end immediately.” Trump said that this agreement will also pave the way for the release of the hostages and expressed hope that all the hostages will be released in 1-2 days.
