US President Donald Trump had been pushing for a ceasefire with Iran since at least March, a report said. The Financial Times reported that Washington quietly worked for a pause despite strong public threats. Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir acted as a key link between the US and Iran. He spoke with US leaders including JD Vance and envoy Steve Witkoff. The effort led to a two-week ceasefire. Trump said Iran “begged for this ceasefire”. Iran signalled it would stop attacks if not targeted. (PC: India Today)
