Pakistan ceasefire framework has been shared with both the United States and Iran, according to an international news agency report. The development comes amid rising tensions, as Islamabad attempts to push for peace through a structured plan.
Sources familiar with the proposal said the framework consists of two key phases. The first phase focuses on an immediate ceasefire to stop ongoing hostilities. The second phase aims at reaching a comprehensive agreement for long-term stability.
Reports suggest that both Washington and Tehran have received the proposal. The plan includes steps to end aggression and enforce an instant truce, followed by formal negotiations.
Officials indicated that early understanding could be shaped into a memorandum of understanding. There are expectations that discussions in Islamabad may lead to consensus on the agreement soon.
Meanwhile, Pakistan’s Army Chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, remained in contact throughout the night with senior officials. These included US Vice President JD Vance, envoy Steve Witkoff, and Iran’s foreign minister, highlighting ongoing diplomatic engagement.
According to sources, responses from Iran regarding temporary ceasefire proposals by Pakistan, China, and the US are still awaited. However, senior Iranian officials have confirmed receiving Pakistan’s proposal and said it is under review.
Iran has made it clear that it will not accept any deadlines or external pressure in making its decision. This stance reflects Tehran’s cautious approach to the situation.
On the other side, former US President Donald Trump extended the deadline for a possible agreement by 24 hours after issuing strong warnings earlier. The new deadline is set for Tuesday evening (Eastern Time), which corresponds to early Wednesday morning in Pakistan.
Iran has rejected the US ultimatum. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei stated that Iran has the capability to respond to any attacks. He warned that any strike on civilian infrastructure, including power plants, would be met with a similar response.
He further cautioned that the impact of such actions would not remain limited to Iran but could affect the entire region.
