Pakistan neither confirms nor denies role in Iran ceasefire plan

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Monday declined to confirm or deny reports that it had proposed a framework to help end the conflict involving Iran, the United States and Israel, while reiterating that diplomatic efforts to de-escalate tensions were ongoing.

A spokesperson for the Foreign Office Pakistan said multiple reports had circulated regarding a possible 45-day ceasefire proposal and a 15-point framework, but Islamabad would not comment on “specific and individual” claims.

“We do not comment on such reports,” the spokesperson said, adding that Pakistan’s position remained focused on promoting peace and stability in the region.

The response comes amid media reports suggesting Islamabad may have shared a proposed ceasefire plan — dubbed the “Islamabad Accord” — with both Tehran and Washington as part of efforts to halt hostilities.

The reported framework includes provisions for an immediate ceasefire followed by phased negotiations, according to media accounts.

Pakistan has not publicly confirmed the details of any such proposal.

Officials said Islamabad continued to support diplomatic engagement and de-escalation as tensions in the region remain high, particularly around key shipping routes such as the Strait of Hormuz.

Reports have indicated that Iran has discussed internal ceasefire terms, though details remain undisclosed, while the United States has increased pressure on Tehran to reach an agreement.

Pakistan has repeatedly called for restraint and dialogue, positioning itself as a potential mediator in the crisis, though its exact role remains unclear.

The Foreign Office said efforts aimed at reducing tensions and restoring stability in the region were ongoing.
