Pakistan has issued a measured response to growing reports about a possible ceasefire framework involving the United States, Israel, and Iran.
The Foreign Office emphasized ongoing peace efforts while refraining from confirming specific proposals.
FO Spokesperson Tahir Hussain Andrabi addressed media reports suggesting that Pakistan is working on a framework to help stop the escalating tensions between the US, Israel, and Iran.
According to the spokesperson, there have been multiple reports circulating, including claims of a 45-day ceasefire or a 15-point exchange plan. However, he stopped short of validating any of these details.
No confirmation or denial
The spokesperson made it clear that the Foreign Office is not in a position to confirm or deny such specific reports.
“We do not comment on individual or specific incidents,” Andrabi stated, signaling a cautious diplomatic stance amid sensitive regional developments.
Pakistan reiterates commitment to peace
Despite avoiding direct confirmation, the Foreign Office highlighted that the peace process is ongoing.
Pakistan, the spokesperson emphasized, remains committed to promoting stability in the region, especially at a time of heightened geopolitical tensions involving major global and regional players.

While details remain unclear, the statement reflects Pakistan’s continued engagement in diplomatic efforts aimed at de-escalation. The cautious tone suggests that discussions may be underway behind the scenes, even as official confirmation of any ceasefire framework remains absent.
Iran, US receive plan to end hostilities
Earlier, Reuters quoted a source as saying that Iran and the United States have received a plan to end hostilities that could come into effect on Monday and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
A framework to end hostilities has been put together by Pakistan and exchanged with Iran and the US overnight, the source said, outlining a two-tier approach with an immediate ceasefire followed by a comprehensive agreement.
"All elements need to be agreed today," the source 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 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 Araqchi.
