Uzbekistan Supports Middle East Ceasefire

Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) — The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Uzbekistan expressed support for the recently declared full ceasefire and truce in the Middle East, brokered under the mediation of Pakistan’s leadership.

In an official statement, the Ministry noted that this decision represents an important step toward de-escalating tensions and creating conditions for a political and diplomatic dialogue aimed at finding mutually acceptable solutions.

Uzbekistan calls on all parties to exercise restraint, refrain from actions that could lead to renewed escalation, and continue constructive engagement to achieve sustainable peace and stability in the region.

The statement also reaffirmed Uzbekistan’s long-standing position that conflicts must be resolved exclusively by peaceful means, in strict accordance with the principles of the United Nations Charter.

U.S. President Donald Trump agreed to a two-week ceasefire with Iran, despite earlier threats of “hell” against Tehran. The parties plan to discuss an agreement under which all sanctions on Iran will be lifted, compensation for damages will be provided, and Iran will maintain control over the Strait of Hormuz.

A few hours before his own ultimatum expired, Trump stated that the U.S. had already “overfulfilled” all military objectives in the operation against Iran and expressed support for the truce initiated by Pakistan. He noted: “They asked me to refrain from sending destructive forces into Iran, and on the condition that the Islamic Republic agrees to a full, immediate, and safe opening of the Strait of Hormuz, I am willing to suspend bombings and attacks for a period of two weeks.”

Washington received a ten-point peace proposal from Tehran, which Trump described as an acceptable basis for dialogue. All outstanding issues are to be resolved within two weeks, after which a final agreement will be signed. The first round of negotiations is scheduled for April 10 in Islamabad.

Iran confirmed the ceasefire, calling it a “great victory.” An official statement emphasized: “The enemy has suffered an undeniable, historic, and crushing defeat in its treacherous, illegal, and criminal war against the Iranian people.”
