Iran and the United States have received a Pakistan-backed proposal aimed at ending ongoing tensions and restoring stability in the region, according to a report by Reuters via Investing.com.
The proposal outlines a two-phase ceasefire plan, tentatively named the “Islamabad Accord.” The plan focuses on reducing hostilities while reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a key global route for oil shipments.
In the first phase, the proposal calls for an immediate ceasefire along with steps to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which is vital for international energy supplies and trade.
The second phase includes a short-term peace agreement, expected to last around 15 to 20 days, where broader negotiations could take place. These talks may include confidence-building measures, with discussions potentially covering sensitive areas such as nuclear activity and sanctions relief.
The development highlights Pakistan’s growing role in diplomatic efforts to ease tensions in the Middle East. However, there is no official confirmation yet on whether the proposal has been accepted by both sides.
Global observers are closely watching the situation as further updates are expected in the coming days.
