“Allow Diplomacy to Run Its Course”: Pakistan’s Peace Proposal for US and Iran
The Pakistan Iran Mediation role has taken a critical turn as the 8:00 PM EST deadline set by President Donald Trump approaches. On Tuesday, PM Shehbaz Sharif took to social media platform X to propose a two-week truce and deadline extension. Sharif, whose government is acting as a key mediator between Washington and Tehran, emphasized that peace efforts are “progressing steadily and powerfully.” He urged President Trump to postpone military action against Iranian power plants and bridges, while simultaneously calling on his “Iranian brothers” to open the Strait of Hormuz for the same period as a gesture of goodwill.
In his Pakistan Iran Mediation message, the Prime Minister highlighted the necessity of a comprehensive ceasefire. “We urge all warring parties to observe a ceasefire everywhere for two weeks to allow diplomacy to achieve conclusive termination of war,” Sharif wrote. This intervention comes after Trump issued an expletive-laden warning earlier this week, threatening to strike critical Iranian infrastructure if the Islamic Republic failed to reopen the vital maritime waterway. The Pakistani premier believes that this 14-day window could be the final chance for long-term stability in the region.
World Watches as Deadline Nears
The Pakistan Iran Mediation attempt is seen as a last-ditch effort to stop what Trump described as the “destruction of a civilization.” As global energy markets remain on edge, Sharif’s call for a “goodwill gesture” from Tehran is being closely monitored by international observers. Whether Trump will respect the request from a key regional ally or proceed with the scheduled strikes remains the most pressing question of the hour.
