Pakistan’s pursuit of world peace is rooted in a philosophy of sacrifice and a continuous struggle for truth, as reflected on the Day of Takbeer. (Asghar Ali Mubarak)
Pakistan wants peace in the region by maintaining the balance of power and is ready to make every sacrifice for it. The sacrifices of the Pakistani armed forces are continuing for the war against terrorism and world peace.
The philosophy of sacrifices is refreshed on Eid-ul-Adha; the whole world is aware of the sacrifices of the Pakistani armed forces.
These efforts affirm Pakistan’s leadership in world peace diplomacy, led by Field Marshal Asim Munir and the armed forces. On the anniversary of the Day of Takbeer and during Eid al-Adha, this commitment takes center stage for the nation.
I, Asghar Ali Mubarak, am very proud and happy to celebrate my birthday on May 28,
While this time the birthday of my three-year-old son Zargham Abbas was also celebrated on the Day of Arafa,
During the struggle for truth, the successful command of the Pakistan Army Marshal Asim Munir’s strategic capabilities were made known to the world.
Due to this strong military background, the Iranian President in Tehran and the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Washington consider him a powerful guarantor who has the full potential to implement the “Islamabad Declaration” and the 45-day peace process on the ground.
The Day of Takbeer and the Battle of Truth have made Pakistan a “powerhouse” to solve the world’s biggest crisis.
The concepts of world peace, philosophy of sacrifice, Day of Takbeer, and the first anniversary of the Battle of Truth are deeply related to Pakistan’s defense history and strategic strategy.
The details of these most important topics and their interrelationship are clear from the following points:

The Inside Debate of US Intelligence. While President Trump is praising Asim Munir, there has also been a debate in some circles of US intelligence that Field Marshal Asim Munir has long and strong professional ties with the top leadership of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). However, the current White House team (including Jared Kushner and JD Vance) believes that Asim Munir’s influence in Iran is actually America’s greatest asset in implementing this deal on the ground (becoming a guarantor). This overall White House response clearly shows that the US President has completely entrusted the goal of peace in the Middle East to the diplomatic credibility and guarantee of Field Marshal Asim Munir. Defense Balance and Peace: Pakistan’s nuclear and conventional defense system is not for aggression but for “Defensive Deterrence”. Pakistan believes that the balance of power in the region is the guarantor of lasting world peace.
Passion for Sacrifice for Right:
The philosophy of sacrifice teaches that one will never hesitate to sacrifice life and property for the protection of national self-determination, sovereignty, and right.
The armed forces and people of Pakistan have always made unparalleled sacrifices for the establishment of peace,
Every year on May 28, “Yum-e-Takbir” is celebrated, which commemorates the successful nuclear explosions in the Chagai mountains in 1998. Meaning of Takbir: “Takbir” (acknowledgement of the greatness of Allah) is a symbol that the real trust of the Pakistani nation is in faith and Allah Himself, more than in material power. Youm-e-Takbir is actually a day to stop war. These explosions permanently re-established the balance of power in South Asia, saving the region from a major war.
First Anniversary of Maarka-e-Haq: In May 2026, Pakistan is celebrating the first anniversary of the “Maarka-e-Haq”. This battle commemorates the four-day intense military tension on the borders in May 2025 (May 7 to May 10), where Pakistan thwarted the enemy’s aggressive intentions. During this battle, Pakistan’s Air Force and security forces gave a befitting reply to the enemy’s aggression and proved that a nation based on truth knows how to protect its borders. The anniversary of this battle sends the message that wars are fought and won not only on the basis of resources but also on the principles of faith, discipline, and truth. All these milestones together make it clear that Pakistan always uses its nuclear and military capabilities to defend the homeland and promote world peace. Iranian Ambassador Reza Amiri Moqadam said that a few minutes ago, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi congratulated him on the success of the negotiations.

World Peace and Philosophy of Sacrifice
Defensive Balance and Peace:
Pakistan’s nuclear and conventional defense system is not for aggression but for “Defensive Balance” (Defensive Deterrence).
Pakistan believes that the balance of power in the region is the guarantor of lasting world peace.
Passion for Sacrifice for the Right:
The philosophy of sacrifice teaches that one will never hesitate to sacrifice life and property for the sake of national self-determination, sovereignty, and the protection of truth.
The armed forces and people of Pakistan have always made unparalleled sacrifices for the establishment of peace.

Youm-e-Takbir:
A Day of Nuclear Power and Dignity, Historical Background:
Every year, “Youm-e-Takbir” is celebrated on May 28, which commemorates the successful nuclear explosions carried out in the Chagai Mountains in 1998. The meaning of Takbir: “Takbir” (acknowledgement of the greatness of Allah) is a symbol that the real trust of the Pakistani nation is in faith and Allah Himself, rather than material power.
Weapon of Peace:
Youm-e-Takbir is actually a day to stop war. These explosions permanently restored the balance of power in South Asia, saving the region from a major war.

First Anniversary of Maarka-e-Haq Historical Context: In May 2026, Pakistan is celebrating the first anniversary of the “Maarka-e-Haq”. This battle commemorates the four-day intense military tension on the border in May 2025, where Pakistan crushed the enemy’s aggressive intentions.
Operation Solid Wall:
During this battle, Pakistan’s Air Force and security forces gave a crushing response to the enemy’s aggression and proved that a nation based on truth knows how to protect its borders.
Victory of Truth: The anniversary of this battle sends a message that wars are not fought and won solely on the basis of resources but on the principles of faith, discipline, and truth.
All these milestones together make it clear that Pakistan has always used its nuclear and military capabilities to defend the homeland and promote world peace.
Both historical events—the nuclear power of Youm-e-Takbir and the military success of the Battle of Truth—make Pakistan’s role in mediating the current US-Iran war invincible and strong in the following ways:

Nuclear & Military Prestige
A Responsible Global Power:
Youm-e-Takbir made Pakistan the only globally recognized nuclear power in the Muslim world. A state that has always used its nuclear assets for peace and defense has emerged as the most credible and responsible arbitrator in the eyes of the international community (including the US and Iran).
Confession of defensive power:
In the War of Truth (May 2025), Pakistan proved that its conventional defense and intelligence network are very modern and strong.
When a country is militarily powerful, major war powers like the United States and Iran take its diplomatic talk seriously.

Experience in maintaining regional balance
(Strategic Balance) Balance of power formula:
The original purpose of the Day of Takbir was to prevent war and establish balance in South Asia. Pakistan is now using the same “balance of power” formula in the Middle East, where it is creating a balance between the United States’ security concerns and Iran’s sovereignty that both sides can agree on.

Independent diplomacy free from external pressure
(Independent Foreign Policy)
A position free from blackmail:
The first anniversary of the War of Truth reminds us that Pakistan does not bow to any external aggression or pressure.
Pakistan’s independent position gives Iran confidence that Islamabad will not compromise on Iranian interests under American pressure, while the United States knows that Pakistan sincerely desires peace in the region. The real beauty of Field Marshal Asim Munir’s strategy is that he freed Pakistan’s foreign policy from external pressure by basing it on the nuclear prestige of Youm-e-Takbir and the military success of the War of Truth.
This is why, be it US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Washington or the Iranian leadership in Tehran, everyone is recognizing him as a powerful and reliable guarantor.
Field Marshal Asim Munir was promoted to the honorary rank of Field Marshal by the Government of Pakistan in May 2025 after the Pak-India military clashes.
In November 2025, through a constitutional amendment, he was appointed the head of all the armed forces of Pakistan (Army, Air Force, and Navy), that is, the Chief of Defense Forces.
During his visit to Saudi Arabia in December 2025, he was awarded Saudi Arabia’s highest civilian award, the “King Abdul Aziz Medal of Excellence”. This medal was awarded under the royal decree of the Saudi King (Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques), King Salman bin Abdulaziz, for strengthening Pak-Saudi defense and strategic relations.
The Pakistani army and its leaders have always reiterated their commitment to the territorial integrity of Saudi Arabia and the defense and protection of the Two Holy Mosques.
In the current era, Field Marshal Asim Munir is being seen as an important military and diplomatic mediator at the international level (such as the negotiations between the United States and Iran). His jurisdiction is purely defensive and diplomatic.
Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir’s military and diplomatic strategy has brought Pakistan to a point where the country is simultaneously successfully defending its borders and has also emerged as a key peacemaker seeking solutions to major conflicts at the global level.
Field Marshal Asim Munir adopted a policy of “active defense” by modernizing traditional defense. The biggest test of the right movement and his military leadership came in May 2025, when he ordered a very tough and immediate counterattack against the enemy’s sudden aggression. In this four-day battle, the Pakistan Army and Air Force proved that Pakistan’s defense is impregnable by giving a crushing response to the enemy. They intensified indiscriminate operations based on intelligence against terrorist networks inside the country, which ensured internal security and other economic projects, including CPEC. They promoted local defense production and the use of modern technology (such as drones and cybersecurity) to minimize dependence on foreign aid. Converting military power into influence at the diplomatic table has been Field Marshal Asim Munir’s greatest strategic achievement. In the recent worst crisis in the Middle East, he presented Pakistan as a “respectable mediator” instead of making it part of one of the parties. As a result of his recent diplomacy and visit to Tehran, the US and Iran are close to finalizing the “Islamabad Declaration” and the 45-day peace process agreement. His diplomatic style during the Islamabad talks became the center of attention of the global media. He showed military resolve by welcoming the Iranian delegation in military uniform, while meeting the American delegation in civilian clothes (suits) and giving a message of the state’s flexible diplomacy. He transformed defense relations with the Gulf countries (Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates) and China into economic partnerships through the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC), which paved the way for billions of dollars of investment in the country. The real beauty of Field Marshal Asim Munir’s strategy is that he freed Pakistan’s foreign policy from external pressure by basing it on the nuclear prestige of Youm-e-Takbir and the military success of the War of Truth. This is why, be it US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Washington or the Iranian leadership in Tehran, everyone is recognizing him as a powerful and reliable guarantor. Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir’s future role in the formal implementation of the proposed peace agreement (Islamabad Declaration) between the US and Iran will not be that of a mere mediator, but rather that of a powerful and fundamental guarantor.
Given the deep distrust between the two world powers, Pakistan’s military leadership will play a key role in ensuring the implementation of this agreement on the ground. The following are four basic aspects of Field Marshal Asim Munir’s expected future role in the implementation of this historic agreement:
Heading the Islamabad Joint Monitoring Cell: A high-level security cell will be established in Islamabad to monitor any emergency or ceasefire violation during the 45-day process and the subsequent permanent agreement.
Field Marshal Asim Munir will oversee the joint cell, hosted by the Pakistani army, where monitoring officers from the US Pentagon and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) will be in touch around the clock to quickly resolve any misunderstandings.
Guaranteeing the restoration of the Strait of Hormuz and maritime trade routes;
Guaranteeing maritime security: Under the agreement, Iran is to open the Strait of Hormuz to international maritime traffic, while the US is to end its naval blockade. Continuation of the “Hotline” between the parties;
Direct communication channel: Since there is a severe lack of direct diplomatic relations between the United States and Iran, Field Marshal Asim Munir’s office will continue to serve as a permanent hotline between Washington and Tehran.
Exchange of strategic messages:
Even after the signing of the agreement, he will remain the central coordinator for the exchange of amendment proposals in the complex stages, such as the lifting of economic sanctions and the phased return of frozen assets.
Implementation of a code of conduct with regional organizations (Proxies), Expansion of the peace sphere:
According to Iran’s position, the scope of this peace process is to be expanded to Lebanon and other fronts in the Middle East.
Diplomatic Influence: Field Marshal Asim Munir will use his strategic influence to ensure that other regional organizations also respect this 45-day ceasefire so that the US does not have any justification to back down from the agreement. This future role of Field Marshal Asim Munir will elevate Pakistan to a new and higher position in international politics, where Pakistan’s military might will be seen as the greatest pillar of global peace. Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir’s military and diplomatic strategy has brought Pakistan to a point where the country is simultaneously successfully defending its borders and has emerged as a key peacemaker seeking solutions to major conflicts globally. The US President Donald Trump and the White House have responded very positively, friendly and exceptionally, to the guarantor and mediator role of Field Marshal Asim Munir. President Trump has not only openly praised Asim Munir’s diplomatic and strategic skills but has also demonstrated flexibility in US policies on his advice. The most important responses and statements from the White House and the US administration are as follows:

President Donald Trump’s personal expression of liking and admiration: “My favorite Field Marshal”:
President Donald Trump addressed Field Marshal Asim Munir as “My Favorite Field Marshal” after several meetings at the White House and the Oval Office.
He described Asim Munir as an “extraordinary human being” and a “great fighter” and praised him for holding peace talks.
Long negotiation sessions: According to White House officials, the Field Marshal’s meetings with Trump lasted for two hours, exceeding the scheduled time (45 minutes), which shows the US President’s deep confidence in the strategic thinking of the Pakistani military leadership. 2. Asim Munir’s advice to review the US blockade ends the critical stalemate:
When the US announced a naval blockade against Iran, the talks were at a standstill. Field Marshal Asim Munir personally convinced President Trump that this blockade was the biggest obstacle to the peace process. Trump’s response: According to the British news agency, President Trump accepted Asim Munir’s advice and made a formal statement that the US was ready to reconsider and relax the naval blockade imposed on Iran at Pakistan’s request.

The position of the White House and the US establishment: The most important and only channel is acknowledged:
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the White House security teams have made it clear that Pakistan’s army chief is Washington’s most reliable and primary backchannel go-between to end this extremely delicate war with Iran.
Trump’s latest confirmation (May 23-24, 2026): Trump acknowledged the results of this successful Pakistani mediation on his social media post (Truth Social) and wrote that “The framework of a peace agreement with Iran has been largely negotiated and its final details will be announced soon, including the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz”.
