A potential diplomatic breakthrough may be underway as Iran and the United States reportedly received a proposed plan aiming to end ongoing hostilities and reopen the strategic Strait of Hormuz, according to sources familiar with the discussions.
Sources say Pakistan has acted as the primary mediator, presenting a two-tiered framework to both sides. The proposal calls for an immediate ceasefire, followed by a broader, comprehensive agreement. Initial terms are expected to be formalised electronically through Pakistan, the sole communication channel in the talks.
Reports indicate that the U.S., Iran, and regional mediators are considering a 45-day temporary ceasefire as part of a phased approach that could pave the way for a lasting settlement. The discussions reportedly involve input from the U.S., Israel, and other regional stakeholders.
Pakistani Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir has been in continuous contact with U.S. Vice President JD Vance, special envoy Steve Witkoff, and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, according to sources.
Under the plan, the ceasefire would take effect immediately, reopening the Strait of Hormuz. The subsequent 15-20 days would focus on finalising a wider peace agreement, tentatively called the “Islamabad Accord.” This would include a regional framework for the strait, with final, in-person negotiations planned in Islamabad.
Iranian officials have previously expressed that they want a permanent ceasefire with guarantees that neither the U.S. nor Israel will launch further attacks. Mediators from Pakistan, Turkey, and Egypt have been involved in relaying proposals.
The final agreement is expected to include commitments from Iran to refrain from expanding its nuclear program, in exchange for sanctions relief and access to frozen assets, according to sources.
Despite the intensive outreach, Iranian authorities have not formally responded to the proposal. “Iran has not provided any response yet,” said one Pakistani source, highlighting the uncertainty surrounding the potential deal.
