WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump has praised 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 Truth Social account, President Trump expressed gratitude to Pakistan’s leadership, saying, “Thank you Pakistan, thank you to its Prime Minister and Field Marshal both great personalities.”

In a separate post, the US President also thanked Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar for their “great courage and support” in facilitating regional stability efforts.

Earlier, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced that in light of the ceasefire in Lebanon, the Strait of Hormuz has been reopened for all commercial shipping during the remaining duration of the ceasefire.

The development comes after Iran’s decision to restore maritime traffic through the strategic waterway, easing tensions and improving prospects for regional and global trade stability.
