This diplomatic contact follows reports that the United States has officially responded to Iran’s new peace proposal. According to state media, the message was conveyed through Pakistani channels, highlighting Islamabad’s central role as a neutral intermediary. The proposed 14-point plan seeks to transform the current ceasefire into a permanent end to hostilities within a month. It includes provisions for a non-aggression pledge involving regional players, the clearing of sea mines by Iranian teams, and the gradual lifting of economic sanctions and the naval blockade.
The potential agreement also touches upon nuclear infrastructure, with a proposed return to specific uranium enrichment levels under a “zero-storage” principle. In exchange, the plan requires a commitment from the U.S. and its allies to refrain from strikes against Iranian interests. Foreign Office officials stated that Pakistan remains dedicated to facilitating these complex negotiations to prevent a return to full-scale conflict. The state continues to advocate for a comprehensive security system that integrates all Middle Eastern neighbors to ensure lasting peace and the restoration of global shipping lanes.
