Pakistan and China are pushing to revive US-Iran peace talks through the Islamabad MoU framework, even as US missiles strike Iranian targets and both sides escalate threats.
Pakistan's PM Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir flew to Burgenstock, Switzerland, to attend US-Iran technical talks following a 14-point peace deal signed Thursday. Iran warned the entire agreement could collapse if either side fails to meet its commitments within the 60-day implementation window.
Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif says a US-Iran peace deal, called the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding, is expected to be signed electronically within 24 hours. The deal would formally end a conflict that began in February 2026 and nearly escalated again this week after strikes near the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump publicly rejected Iran's ceasefire response, conveyed through Pakistani mediators, as "totally unacceptable." Iran had proposed focusing first on ending hostilities and deferring sanctions and nuclear issues, but the rejection leaves the Pakistan-led diplomatic channel under serious strain.
President Trump rejected Iran's latest response to a U.S. ceasefire proposal, delivered through Pakistani mediators on Sunday. The breakdown keeps diplomatic tensions elevated and adds uncertainty to Middle East stability and energy markets.
Iran sent its reply to a 14-point US peace proposal through Pakistani mediators on Sunday, with state media saying Tehran's response focuses on ending the war and maritime security in the Strait of Hormuz.
Pakistan is mediating between the US and Iran on a short-term deal to end the current fighting. A senior Pakistani official says the priority is a permanent end-of-war declaration, with other disputes to be settled in subsequent direct talks.
Iran said the US has responded to its 14-point peace proposal, delivered via Pakistan, and is now reviewing Washington's reply. Trump called the talks "very positive" and launched Project Freedom to escort stranded vessels out of the Strait of Hormuz, while Iranian military figures threatened to sink US ships.
Iran delivered a new peace proposal to Washington via Pakistan, but President Trump said Friday he was unsatisfied and gave no sign a deal was close. Trump simultaneously told Congress the ceasefire had "terminated" hostilities, using it to sidestep the 60-day War Powers Resolution deadline that expired Friday.
Iran has sent a negotiation proposal to the US via Pakistan, acting as a back-channel mediator. The move comes as US naval forces block Iranian crude exports and a sea-channel blockade cuts off roughly 20 percent of global oil and gas supplies.
President Trump told Reuters that Iran intends to make an offer aimed at satisfying U.S. demands. Talks are expected to resume in Pakistan, marking a continued diplomatic push over Iran's nuclear program. The content and timing of Iran's offer have not been disclosed.
PM Shehbaz Sharif and President Erdogan met at the Antalya Diplomacy Forum, aligning on using the current diplomatic window to advance Middle East peace and agreeing to hold a bilateral strategic council meeting in Ankara this year. The visit is part of a tri-nation trip that also covered Saudi Arabia and Qatar,
Trump confirmed the Strait of Hormuz is open to commercial vessels but kept a US naval blockade on Iran active until a final deal is signed, with negotiations targeting a three-page framework. A draft proposal involves releasing up to $20 billion in frozen Iranian assets in exchange for Tehran's enriched uranium
Pakistani Army Chief General Asim Munir visited Tehran to advance indirect nuclear negotiations between the US and Iran. Pakistani mediators told Al Jazeera they are cautiously hopeful about a breakthrough on Iran's nuclear programme. The visit underscores Pakistan's emerging role as a key backchannel conduit between W
US and Iranian delegations are in a second day of talks in Islamabad, with a White House official confirming negotiations have lasted over 15 hours.
