Pakistan has reportedly brokered a last-minute ceasefire framework dubbed the “Islamabad Accord” to prevent the total annihilation of the Iranian terror state. According to Reuters, citing two sources familiar with the matter, both Washington and Tehran have now received the proposal, which calls for an immediate ceasefire, reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and a short window to hammer out a permanent settlement. Pakistan’s army chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, has reportedly been in round-the-clock meetings with US Vice President JD Vance, special envoy Steve Witkoff, and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi. The proposed agreement follows a two-phase structure:
- Phase 1: Immediate ceasefire and reopening of the Strait of Hormuz
- Phase 2: 15–20 days of negotiations toward a broader peace deal
Iran International reported:
Iran is reviewing Pakistan’s proposal for an immediate ceasefire but is not open to a “temporary ceasefire,” a senior Iranian official told Reuters on Monday. The official said Tehran would not reopen the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for a temporary truce and viewed Washington as not ready for a permanent ceasefire. The official also said Iran would not accept pressure to make a decision under deadlines.
