Trump praises Pakistan’s Leadership for mediation role after Strait of Hormuz reopening
WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump has lauded Pakistan, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, and Field Marshal Asim Munir for their “excellent role” in mediation efforts following Iran’s decision to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
In a statement posted on his social media platform Truth Social, President Trump expressed gratitude, saying, “Thank you Pakistan, thank you to its Prime Minister and Field Marshal both great personalities.”
In a separate post, Trump also thanked Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar for their “great courage and support” in helping maintain regional stability.
The development comes after Iran announced the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz in the context of the Lebanon ceasefire.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated on social media that all commercial shipping through the strategic waterway would remain fully open for the duration of the ceasefire.
The move is being seen as a key step toward easing regional tensions and restoring confidence in global trade and energy supply routes.
