Ambassador Reza Amiri Moghadam said Pakistan has presented a structured framework aimed at ending the hostilities, sharing the proposal with both Washington and Tehran. The plan outlines a two-stage approach, beginning with an immediate ceasefire, followed by negotiations on a comprehensive and long-term settlement.
The situation remains highly volatile, with analysts warning that failure to secure an agreement could lead to large-scale strikes on Iran’s civilian and energy infrastructure. Such escalation could trigger retaliatory actions affecting water and power systems across the wider region, significantly increasing the risk of broader instability.
Despite the urgency, Pakistani officials have not publicly disclosed details of the proposed framework and continue to keep their diplomatic engagement largely confidential.
US President Donald Trump has intensified pressure for a swift resolution, warning of severe consequences if a ceasefire is not reached. Referring to intercepted communications, he claimed that Iranians are prepared to endure hardship for their freedom, while also threatening further attacks on Iran’s infrastructure if negotiations fail.
The ongoing conflict has already unsettled global energy markets, with particular concern focused on the Strait of Hormuz, a vital corridor for global oil shipments. Any prolonged disruption in the waterway could have far-reaching economic consequences worldwide.
