According to officials familiar with the development, the plan — crafted in Islamabad and shared overnight — envisages a two‑tier approach: an immediate cessation of hostilities followed by negotiations toward a comprehensive settlement. The proposals could reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global energy corridor disrupted by recent clashes.
The plan envisions an immediate halt to military operations, creating space for dialogue to begin without further escalation. Within 15 to 20 days, negotiators are expected to move toward a follow‑up agreement addressing nuclear restrictions and sanctions relief, laying the groundwork for a broader settlement. A key element of the proposal is the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital artery for global energy supplies, which diplomats say is essential to stabilising international oil markets and restoring confidence in regional trade routes.
Iran’s Ambassador to Pakistan hinted at the breakthrough, took to X noting that Islamabad’s “positive and productive endeavours in Good Will and Good Office to stop the war” had reached a critical, sensitive stage. His remarks underscored the delicate balance of the talks, while signaling that Pakistan’s mediation was yielding results.
It is worth mentioning that diplomatic sources describe Islamabad’s recent series of initiative as part of a broader mediation effort involving Egypt and Turkey, but emphasize Pakistan’s central role in drafting the framework. Analysts say Pakistan’s credibility stems from its ties with both Washington and Tehran, and its positioning as a neutral actor in the crisis.
Diplomats say Iran Ambassador’s statement positions Pakistan as an active mediator in a conflict, emphasizing goodwill and neutrality, while preparing audiences for further announcements, something like suggesting confidence that further developments will be worth announcing.
