Iranian authorities have officially shared an amended peace proposal with Pakistan, signalling a renewed push for regional stability. According to a top security source who shared exclusive details of the development with CNN-News18, Islamabad is now increasingly hopeful that a comprehensive deal between the United States and Iran is finally within reach. This amended framework arrives at a critical juncture, as international intermediaries have been working tirelessly to bridge the divide between Washington and Tehran amidst ongoing regional tensions.
The revised proposal is reportedly centred on the critical reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital maritime artery for global energy supplies that has faced significant disruption. Beyond maritime security,
the top security source revealed that the Iranian document contains “broader objectives and solutions” aimed at a long-term resolution of the current conflict. These additions suggest that Iran is looking past immediate tactical concessions towards a more sustainable security architecture in the Gulf.
Pakistan, playing its pivotal role as a mediator, intends to share this amended Iranian proposal with the United States in the coming days. The top security source also indicated that another round of high-level talks is currently under discussion to facilitate direct or indirect engagement between the primary stakeholders.
Top Indian intelligence sources, however, have expressed significant scepticism regarding Islamabad’s mediation efforts, asserting that Pakistan is not an “honest broker” in the ongoing negotiations. These sources highlight that Pakistan maintains deep historical, ideological, and military ties with Tehran, including past collaboration on Afghanistan and shared strategies regarding Baloch insurgents. According to these assessments, by forwarding Iran’s amended proposal—which prioritises the opening of the Strait of Hormuz while delaying nuclear discussions—Islamabad is actively helping Tehran buy time and alleviate pressure from the United States. Intel sources further suggest that Pakistan’s primary objective is to assist Iran in lifting the naval blockade without requiring direct concessions on its controversial nuclear programme.
As the international community watches closely, the success of this Islamabad-led initiative may hinge on whether the “broader solutions” offered by Tehran satisfy the core security demands of the American administration.
