Pakistan Acts as Mediator in New Iran–US Peace Proposal Exchange
Pakistan has delivered a revised peace proposal from Iran to the United States as part of ongoing efforts to revive stalled negotiations aimed at ending the escalating conflict in the Middle East.
According to diplomatic sources cited by international media, Islamabad acted as a mediator between Tehran and Washington, forwarding Iran’s updated framework for a potential ceasefire and broader peace settlement.
The development comes as U.S.-Iran talks remain deadlocked over key issues, including Iran’s nuclear programme, sanctions relief, and control of the strategic Strait of Hormuz, a vital global shipping route.
Iranian officials confirmed that their positions had been conveyed to the United States through Pakistan, although details of the proposal have not been publicly disclosed.
A Pakistani source involved in the process said the revised proposal reflects Iran’s attempt to push for a structured de-escalation plan, even as both sides continue to accuse each other of shifting negotiating demands.
The mediation effort comes at a sensitive moment, with tensions in the region still high following months of conflict and intermittent ceasefire violations. Analysts warn that without a breakthrough, the risk of renewed escalation remains significant, particularly in key flashpoints across the Gulf region.
Despite the setbacks, Pakistan continues to position itself as a key diplomatic bridge between Washington and Tehran, offering channels for indirect communication as direct negotiations remain politically difficult.
