Pakistan has rejected an invitation from US President Donald Trump to join the Abraham Accords, stating the proposal conflicts with its fundamental ideology and national outlook. Defense Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif clarified that Pakistan would not support any agreement that deviates from its basic national principles, questioning the long-term credibility of normalizing relations with Israel.

Pakistan has refused to sign the Abraham Accords, with Defence Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif stating that Islamabad would not support any agreement conflicting with the country's "fundamental ideologies." This decision comes after reported pressure from US President Donald Trump for several Muslim and Arab nations to join the accords as part of a broader regional settlement tied to potential deal with Iran. Asif also questioned the credibility of engagement with Israel, reiterating Pakistan's long-standing position of non-recognition.

The United States and Iran are reportedly close to reaching a deal that would end the ongoing war, reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and see Iran relinquish its stockpile of highly enriched uranium. U.S. President Donald Trump stated that negotiations are proceeding constructively but cautioned representatives against rushing into an agreement.

The US military stated it conducted "defensive" strikes against Iranian missile launch sites and mine-laying boats in southern Iran, asserting the action was to protect American soldiers. This military action occurred simultaneously with diplomatic efforts, as US President Donald Trump claimed talks with Tehran were "progressing positively," despite the fragile ceasefire.

U.S. President Donald Trump has warned Iran that "the clock is ticking" as negotiations to end the war remain stalled, stating "They better get moving, FAST, or there won’t be anything left of them." This comes as a drone strike targeted the United Arab Emirates' sole nuclear power plant, which authorities called an "unprovoked terrorist attack," highlighting the risk of renewed war. The situation is further complicated by Iran's Supreme Leader instructing that the country's enriched uranium not be sent abroad, a key US demand.

U.S. President Donald Trump announced he has postponed a planned military strike on Iran following appeals from leaders of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, stating that serious negotiations are now underway. Trump indicated that while the U.S. remains prepared for a large-scale assault if talks fail, the current diplomatic efforts aim to ensure Iran does not acquire nuclear weapons.
