Iran’s Foreign Ministry has confirmed that it received Pakistan’s peace proposal for an immediate ceasefire and is currently reviewing it. However, Tehran made it clear that it will not accept a “temporary ceasefire” or any pressure with deadlines.
A senior Iranian official said Iran rejects reopening the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for a short-term truce. Officials stressed that any agreement must include strong guarantees for a lasting and permanent peace, not just a pause in fighting. Iran remains open to indirect communication through mediators but refuses to negotiate under threats or ultimatums.
The proposal, floated by Pakistan in recent days, suggested an immediate ceasefire linked to the reopening of the vital Strait of Hormuz, followed by broader talks. Iran has acknowledged receiving the plan but insisted that any final decision will follow proper constitutional processes and guidance from the country’s top leadership.
This firm stance comes amid ongoing tensions and recent warnings from US President Donald Trump regarding strikes on Iranian power plants and bridges if the Strait remains closed. Iran’s position highlights its demand for a comprehensive settlement rather than temporary arrangements that could allow renewed conflict later.
The development shows that while diplomatic efforts continue through regional players like Pakistan, significant differences remain between the parties.
Iran has reiterated its readiness for serious dialogue but only on terms that ensure long-term stability and respect for its sovereignty. Updates on the review process are expected in the coming days.
