The United States and Iran have reportedly received the framework of a plan to end hostilities, a day after President Donald Trump threatened to rain “hell” on Tehran if it did not make a deal.
The Pakistan‑brokered peace plan involves a two‑tier approach: an immediate ceasefire followed by a comprehensive agreement to be finalised within 15 to 20 days.
According to a source aware of the proposals, Pakistan’s army chief was in contact “all night” with the U.S. Vice President, a special envoy, and the Iranian Foreign Minister.
Iran Rejects Temporary Hormuz Reopening
A senior Iranian official told Reuters on Monday that Iran will not reopen the Strait of Hormuz as part of a temporary ceasefire, adding that Tehran will not accept deadlines as it reviews the proposal.
In a post laden with expletives on his Truth Social platform on Sunday, Trump threatened further strikes on Iranian energy and transport infrastructure if Iran failed to make a deal and reopen the Strait by Tuesday.
Anwar Gargash, an adviser to the UAE president, said any settlement must guarantee access through the strategic waterway.
Fresh Strikes Reported
Fresh aerial strikes were reported across the region on Monday.
Iranian state media said the head of the Revolutionary Guards’ intelligence organisation, Majid Khademi, had died. Strikes by Israel and the United States have killed several high‑ranking members of the Iranian regime, including its Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was replaced by his son, Mojtaba.
