Pakistan has put forward a two-stage ceasefire proposal to the United States and Iran that could come into effect in the near term, Reuters reported, citing a source familiar with the negotiations.

According to the source, all key elements of the plan were expected to be agreed on April 6. The initial phase would involve formalizing the arrangements through a memorandum of understanding. This document is intended to be finalized and signed electronically, with Pakistan acting as the sole communication channel between the parties.

The proposal предусматривает an immediate halt to hostilities, followed by a comprehensive agreement within 15 to 20 days. The same source indicated that successful implementation could quickly lead to the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

The anticipated final deal is expected to include commitments from Tehran to abandon the development of nuclear weapons in exchange for eased sanctions and the unfreezing of assets.

The source also noted that Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff, Asim Munir, has been in close contact with US Vice President J. D. Vance, US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.

No official statements have been issued so far by Washington or Tehran. Pakistani sources say that despite ongoing discussions, Iran has not yet agreed to move forward with the proposed plan.
