Pakistan has intensified diplomatic efforts to avoid escalating the conflict in the Middle East, proposing a two-week ceasefire and postponing US President Donald Trump's ultimatum to Iran.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif called on the warring parties to accept a temporary cessation of hostilities “to allow diplomacy to reach a final conclusion to the war.” He also demanded that the US extend the deadline by two weeks and that Iran reopen the Strait of Hormuz during that period.
In a development that could change the course of the crisis, a regional source told CNN that "good news is expected from both sides very soon," adding that the discussions are being led directly by Pakistan's army chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir. According to the same source, a deal could be struck as early as tonight.
The White House confirmed that President Trump has been informed of Pakistan's proposal and that a response is expected, while Trump himself stated that the US is in "intense negotiations" on the conflict with Iran, without providing further details.
" We are in intensive negotiations ," he said, implying that the situation remains open and rapidly evolving.
Pakistan, along with Egypt, Turkey and Saudi Arabia, has played a key role as a mediator between the parties in recent weeks. According to Sharif, diplomatic efforts are “advancing steadily, strongly and with the potential for concrete results in the near future.”
The developments come at a critical moment, just hours before the expiration of the US ultimatum, as the region remains at maximum tension and any decision could determine whether the crisis will be resolved through diplomacy or escalate into an open military clash.
