In a surprising development, US President Donald Trump announced that India and Pakistan have agreed to a “full and immediate ceasefire”, following what he described as a “long night of talks mediated by the United States.”
Taking to his official social media handle, President Trump stated, “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.”

This unexpected declaration has triggered speculation, particularly as neither the Indian nor Pakistani governments have issued any official confirmation so far. The Indian Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) is expected to address this claim in a press briefing scheduled at 6 PM IST today, which now holds significant weight amid ongoing hostilities.
Earlier today, senior Indian officials including Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, Colonel Sofiya Qureshi, and Wing Commander Vyomika Singh reiterated India’s high state of operational readiness, and denied multiple Pakistani claims about damaging Indian military assets.
With border tensions still simmering and Pakistani drones intercepted as recently as Friday morning, all eyes are now on the MEA’s 6 PM press conference for clarity on India’s stance regarding President Trump’s ceasefire claim.
