Apr 06, Kathmandu - Pakistan has unveiled a comprehensive plan to halt the ongoing intense conflict between Iran and the United States. Named the 'Islamabad Agreement,' this proposal could potentially lead to an immediate ceasefire and the reopening of the vital Strait of Hormuz, a major global trade route, starting today.

According to Reuters, the plan was formulated after a series of high-level dialogues involving Pakistani Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Mun, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance, Special Envoy Steve Wycoff, and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Sunday night.

The proposed agreement is divided into two phases. The first phase involves an immediate ceasefire and the re-opening of the Strait of Hormuz. The second phase plans for direct negotiations in Islamabad within the next 15 to 20 days to finalize a long-term peace treaty.

Key conditions include Iran's commitment not to develop nuclear weapons, in exchange for the lifting of U.S. economic sanctions and the unfreezing of Iranian assets. Iranian officials are seeking a permanent ceasefire with guarantees of non-aggression from the U.S. and Israel in the future.

U.S. President Donald Trump has been exerting intense diplomatic pressure to end the conflict, with regional mediators like Pakistan and China actively involved in negotiations.

While both Iran and the U.S. have yet to officially respond to the proposal, diplomatic sources indicate a high likelihood that a formal understanding could be signed as early as today.

This six-week-long conflict has severely impacted global oil markets and security, making this diplomatic breakthrough a pivotal moment in international relations.
