Iran has thanked Pakistan for helping broker the recent ceasefire, with Iranian leaders confirming de-escalation measures and renewed diplomatic engagement with the United States.
According to a report by 24NewsHD, Iran’s supreme leader Mujtaba Khamenei conveyed appreciation to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir for their role in facilitating the agreement.
The report said Khamenei formally accepted the ceasefire and ordered Iranian military units to halt attacks under the arrangement.
Tehran also agreed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz for two weeks at Pakistan’s request, a move aimed at easing pressure on global shipping and energy markets.
Tehran Confirms Truce Framework
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Iran would suspend defensive operations if attacks on the country stop.
He added that Iran’s Supreme National Security Council had ratified the ceasefire agreement and endorsed its broader diplomatic framework.
Iranian officials described the outcome as a major development, claiming opposing powers had accepted the basis of a proposed 10-point truce plan.
According to the report, the framework includes US guarantees of non-aggression, recognition of Iran’s control over the Strait of Hormuz and acceptance of its nuclear enrichment programme.
Hormuz Shipping to Resume
Additional reported demands include lifting all sanctions on Iran, withdrawing US combat forces from the region, revoking international resolutions and providing compensation to Tehran.
Meanwhile, Araghchi said Iran would ensure safe passage for commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz during the next two weeks, subject to coordination with armed forces and technical requirements.
He again praised Pakistan’s diplomatic efforts, highlighting Islamabad’s role in facilitating communication during the crisis.
Analysts say the temporary truce now offers both sides an opportunity to test de-escalation while broader negotiations continue.
