Well, President Trump had announced on his social media network that the two countries had agreed to a full and immediate ceasefire. And then India's foreign secretary, Vikram Misri, made a short announcement. And he said Pakistan's director of military operations had called his Indian counterpart and they agreed to this.

That's right. Things felt very different a few hours ago. India had struck air bases in Pakistan, including one right near the capital, Islamabad. And Pakistan began a military operation called Iron Wall, and soldiers were filming themselves firing projectiles into India.

Yeah, Khan tells me that Pakistan was waiting for a moment that it could sell to its people that, you know, they had showed India. That would allow them to save face and step down.
