The United States and Iran have received a two-stage plan to end hostilities, featuring an immediate ceasefire and a comprehensive settlement, according to Reuters and officials. Pakistan’s army chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, coordinated talks with U.S. and Iranian leaders. The Islamabad Accord framework includes potential reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and 15–20 days for final negotiations. Iran has not committed to the proposal and rejected temporary reopening deadlines. Military operations continue in the region, with emergency personnel responding to strikes in Tehran and Haifa. The agreement is expected to cover nuclear restrictions, sanctions relief, and regional security arrangements. U.S. President Donald Trump has issued warnings of further strikes if Iran does not comply.

Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi condemned U.S. threats to attack Iranian power stations and bridges, calling them war crimes under the Rome Statute and the UN Charter. He warned that Iran will respond decisively to any aggression. The statements follow President Donald Trump’s posts on Truth Social threatening strikes if Iran does not reopen the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours.

Diplomatic efforts remain ongoing but have not produced concessions from Tehran, and global attention focuses on Tehran’s response to the 48-hour warning.
