India and Pakistan have agreed to an immediate ceasefire, ending recent military actions. The agreement follows diplomatic efforts. However, US claims to be the mediater of the peace deal. This development offers a potential path towards de-escalation in the region.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Saturday that India and Pakistan had agreed to a "full and immediate ceasefire" after a fourth day of strikes and counter-strikes against each other's military installations.

Donald Trump was, of course, the first to announce the ceasefire which brings an end to the worst violence seen between the two bitterly divided nations in decades
