She highlights Trump amplifying Iran's own statement confirming the ceasefire and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and contrasts this approach with warnings from Netanyahu and Lindsey Graham, whom she frames as the "war party" pushing a Libya-style outcome. Kokinda says Pakistan, with Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey, mediated the ceasefire and that follow-up talks are set for Friday in Islamabad, likely led by Vice President JD Vance. She connects this to Vance's Budapest remarks with Viktor Orbán about defending Western civilization against "nihilists," and to Trump's call with the Artemis II crew about establishing a permanent presence on the Moon and pushing on to Mars.
