Foreign Ministry spokespeople in Dhaka praised the truce, urging every stakeholder to respect its terms. They see it as a foundation for negotiations leading to permanent peace and stability across the region.

‘Diplomatic initiatives making this possible deserve commendation,’ the official release stated. Bangladesh firmly believes conflicts should always be settled at the negotiating table, not battlefields.

Echoing this, Israel’s envoy in New Delhi, Reuven Azar, affirmed Israel’s backing of the pause in fighting. He pointed to Iran’s diminished military strength and the elimination of major threats as reasons for optimism on future talks, especially regarding a comprehensive 15-point US proposal.

Meanwhile, US Vice President Vance tempered expectations, describing the deal as precarious and preliminary. He detailed how it stemmed from a stern ultimatum to Iran: reopen essential shipping lanes or face continued action.

Negotiators, acting on President Trump’s instructions, linked the ceasefire explicitly to maritime access. Iran complied by agreeing to unblock strategic routes, prompting a halt in strikes from the US and partners.

‘Key waterways are now open, and attacks have stopped,’ Vance confirmed, signaling a tentative win for global commerce.

Bangladesh’s vocal support highlights its role in promoting non-violent conflict resolution globally. As regional powers navigate this fragile accord, the international community remains vigilant.

The broader context involves disruptions to oil flows and trade, making the ceasefire a beacon of hope. Experts predict that adherence could pave the way for broader de-escalation efforts.
