Pakistan has proposed a two-stage plan, dubbed the "Islamabad Accord," to end the ongoing US-Israeli war on Iran, with both sides considering the framework. The proposal involves an immediate ceasefire and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, followed by 15-20 days to finalize a broader settlement. This settlement would include a regional framework for the Strait, Iranian commitments regarding nuclear weapons in exchange for sanctions relief and the release of frozen assets, with final talks in Islamabad. Pakistan's army chief has been in contact with US and Iranian officials to facilitate the agreement. However, Iran has stated it will not reopen the Strait of Hormuz as part of a temporary ceasefire.
