Pakistan has communicated a 15‑point plan from the United States to Iran aimed at ending the Middle East war and achieving a ceasefire, Pakistani officials told news agencies. The proposal, delivered through Islamabad, was described as a comprehensive diplomatic framework covering sanctions relief, limits on Iran’s nuclear and missile programmes, and open access through the Strait of Hormuz.
Officials from Pakistan and Egypt are facilitating the initiative and have discussed potential venues such as Pakistan or Turkey for follow‑up talks. These discussions are part of broader efforts to bring the warring sides together, although Tehran publicly insists it is not negotiating directly with Washington.
Iran’s response remains skeptical, with Iranian authorities publicly dismissing claims of active negotiations. A military spokesman derided the peace efforts, and Moscow said it had received no confirmation from Iran about the reported plan.
The proposal comes as the conflict continues to strain regional stability, with diplomatic actors pushing for de‑escalation even as mistrust persists between Tehran and Washington.
