\nA Pakistan-backed proposal aimed at halting hostilities between Iran and the United States has been presented to both sides, according to Reuters, as diplomatic efforts intensify to de-escalate tensions in the Middle East.<\/p>\n
The framework outlines a two-phase approach, beginning with an immediate ceasefire followed by negotiations toward a broader agreement. The plan also envisions the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global energy route, as part of a wider regional arrangement sometimes referred to as the \u201cIslamabad Accord.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pakistan has taken on a central mediating role, with its military leadership engaging senior officials from both Washington and Tehran to advance discussions.<\/p>\n
However, despite the renewed diplomatic push, no formal agreement has been reached. Iranian officials have so far declined to commit to a temporary ceasefire, instead calling for a more comprehensive and lasting resolution that includes sanctions relief and security guarantees.<\/p>\n
Parallel discussions reported by Axios suggest that a 45-day truce is also being considered as an interim step, though this remains unconfirmed by all parties.<\/p>\n
The situation remains volatile, with ongoing conflict continuing to disrupt shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and raising concerns over global energy supplies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
