Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi expressed gratitude to Pakistan’s leadership, praising their “tireless efforts” in achieving the ceasefire.
He stated that Iran’s acceptance of the ceasefire is based on ongoing negotiations, adding:

Ceasefire Linked to US Decision and Negotiation Framework
The ceasefire comes after US President Donald Trump agreed to delay a potential military strike on Iran by two weeks, following Pakistan’s diplomatic intervention.
Iran confirmed that the agreement is being shaped by a 15-point US framework and its own 10-point proposal, forming the basis for a potential long-term peace deal.
Path Toward De-escalation and Regional Stability
The coordinated steps—ceasefire, reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and diplomatic engagement—signal a broader push toward:
- De-escalation in the Middle East
- Revival of US-Iran negotiations
- Reduction in risks to global energy supply chains
Analysts view the two-week window as a critical opportunity to finalize a lasting agreement.
