Washington, DC – A White House official revealed that US President Donald Trump has not yet approved Pakistan’s ceasefire proposal with Iran, indicating that the plan remains under consideration as part of several initiatives aimed at de-escalating tensions.
The official explained that the proposal submitted by Pakistan is one of several ideas being considered by the US administration, but the president has not yet given his approval, given the ongoing military operations.
Details of the Pakistani proposal
The official confirmed that Operation Epic Wrath is ongoing, noting that the US administration will release further details in the coming hours, as military escalation continues in the region.
According to informed sources, the proposal includes a two-phase framework beginning with an immediate ceasefire, followed by a comprehensive agreement within 15 to 20 days, with the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz as part of the initial understandings.
Divergent positions and difficulties in reaching a consensus
In contrast, Iran expressed reservations about the proposal. An Iranian official confirmed that Tehran would not accept a temporary ceasefire without permanent guarantees, indicating that his country was studying the offer without making a final commitment.
Diplomatic contacts continue between the parties involved, with Pakistan playing a key role as mediator. There are expectations that any final agreement will include commitments related to Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for lifting sanctions, should a comprehensive understanding be reached.
