Pakistan has submitted a formal proposal to Iran and the United States aimed at halting military hostilities between the two nations. The initiative seeks to de-escalate regional tensions through a structured diplomatic framework.
Operative Information Center-OMM, citing Reuters, reports that Islamabad has drafted a framework agreement outlining a two-stage approach. This plan involves an immediate declaration of a ceasefire followed by the negotiation of a comprehensive long-term settlement. "All elements must be agreed upon today," a source stated, noting that the cessation of military operations would facilitate the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. The source added that the preliminary agreement is expected to be formalized as a memorandum of understanding.
The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the world's most vital maritime transit points, with a significant portion of global oil exports passing through its waters. Pakistan, which maintains strategic diplomatic relations with both Tehran and the administration of US President Donald Trump, has frequently sought to act as a mediator to prevent regional instability. This diplomatic intervention underscores Islamabad's concerns regarding the potential impact of prolonged conflict on global energy security and regional trade routes.
