According to CCTV News, on the 6th local time, according to sources, Iran and the United States have received a plan to end hostilities and implement an immediate ceasefire.
Sources said Pakistan had developed a framework for ending hostilities and exchanged views with Iran and the United States, which outlined a two-step strategy of an immediate ceasefire followed by a comprehensive deal.
According to reports, Pakistan Army Chief of Staff Asim Munir held overnight exchanges with US Vice President Vance, US Presidential Envoy Witkov and Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi.
Under the proposal, a ceasefire would take effect immediately, reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and allow 15 to 20 days to hammer out a broader solution. The agreement, tentatively named the Islamabad Agreement, will undergo final face-to-face negotiations in Islamabad. The final deal is expected to include Iran's commitment not to develop nuclear weapons in exchange for the lifting of sanctions and the release of frozen assets, sources said.
