Amid ongoing efforts to terminate military conflict in the region, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, on behalf of the Islamic Republic, has expressed official gratitude to Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir.
Operative Information Center-OMM reports that Abbas Araghchi shared this message on his X social media account.
"On behalf of the Islamic Republic of Iran, I express my thanks and gratitude to my dear brothers, Pakistan's Prime Minister Sharif and Field Marshal Munir, for their tireless efforts to end the war in the region," the statement read.
The minister further added: "If the attacks against Iran are ceased, our Armed Forces will halt their defensive operations. Within a two-week period, through coordination with Iran's Armed Forces and with technical restrictions duly taken into account, safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz will be possible."
Earlier, US President Donald Trump announced his readiness to suspend bombings and attacks against Iran for two weeks, provided that Tehran ensures the full, immediate, and safe opening of the Strait of Hormuz. Following this, Iran's Supreme National Security Council issued a statement claiming a victory over the United States.
It should be recalled that the United States and Israel launched military operations against Iran on February 28, conducting airstrikes on several cities. On the same day, Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was killed as a result of the strikes. In response, Iran launched missiles at Israeli territory and attacked US military bases in the Gulf countries. Due to the situation, several regional states have temporarily closed their airspace.
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most strategically important chokepoints, through which approximately one-fifth of the world's oil consumption passes. The potential reopening of this maritime route is seen as a critical step toward de-escalating global energy market tensions and regional instability. Pakistan has frequently acted as a diplomatic mediator in regional conflicts, maintaining a balanced relationship between Tehran and Western powers.
