Iran War | China, Pakistan Call for Ceasefire, Angry Trump says "Go Get the Oil" to Allies I Barkha

#iran #israel #pakistan #trump #usa #china Breaking: China and Pakistan have stepped in with a joint five-point peace plan, calling for an immediate ceasefire. Beijing has also reaffirmed its strategic backing for Islamabad, signalling shifting global alliances as the crisis deepens. Meanwhile, US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth has visited American troops in the Middle East, warning that the coming days will be “decisive” as Washington intensifies pressure on Iran.
