In a bid to ease the escalating tensions between the US and Iran, Pakistan has proposed a two-week ceasefire ahead of a critical deadline set by President Trump. The proposal aims to foster dialogue between the two nations and includes provisions for Lebanon and conditional passage through the Strait of Hormuz. As Trump weighs the request, he has acknowledged the potential for catastrophic consequences, stating that ‘a whole civilization will die’ without a resolution. Markets have responded positively to reports of ongoing negotiations, while sources indicate that peace talks may occur in Pakistan soon. The situation remains fluid as the Iranian and US governments review the Pakistani proposal, with calls for immediate implementation of the ceasefire.
