The statement came after reports suggested that Islamabad had shared a framework the US and Iran to end hostilities, which could come into effect on Monday and lead to the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
The framework was exchanged with Iran and the US overnight, according to sources, outlining a two-tier approach involving an immediate ceasefire followed by a comprehensive agreement.
However, Iran won’t reopen the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for a “temporary ceasefire”, a senior Iranian official told Reuters on Monday, saying that Tehran views Washington as lacking the readiness for a permanent ceasefire.
The official confirmed Iran had received Pakistan’s proposal for a ceasefire and was reviewing it, emphasising that Tehran does not accept being pressured to accept deadlines or make a decision.

“All elements need to be agreed today,” the source who spoke about the proposal said, adding the initial understanding would be structured as a memorandum of understanding finalised electronically through Pakistan, the sole communication channel in the talks.
Axios first reported on Sunday that the United States, Iran and regional mediators were discussing a potential 45-day ceasefire as part of a two-phase deal that could lead to a permanent end to the war, citing US, Israeli and regional sources.
The source told Reuters that Chief of Defence Forces and Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Asim Munir has been in contact “all night long” with US Vice President JD Vance, special envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
Under the proposal, a ceasefire would take effect immediately, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, with 15–20 days to finalise a broader settlement. The deal, tentatively dubbed the “Islamabad Accord,” would include a regional framework for the strait, with final in-person talks in Islamabad.
