The statement came after reports suggested Islamabad had shared a framework for the US and Iran to end hostilities, which could take 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-pronged approach involving an immediate ceasefire followed by a comprehensive deal.
However, Iran will not reopen the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for a “temporary ceasefire”, a senior Iranian official said. Reuters on Monday, saying Tehran views Washington as unprepared for a permanent ceasefire.
The official confirmed that Iran had received Pakistan’s proposal for a ceasefire and was reviewing it, stressing that Tehran does not accept being pressured to accept deadlines or make a decision.

“All elements must be agreed today,” said the source speaking on the proposal, adding that the initial understanding would be structured as a memorandum of understanding that was completed electronically through Pakistan, the sole communication channel in the talks.
Axios first reported on Sunday that the US, 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 said Reuters that the Defense Chief and Army Chief of Staff Field Marshal Asim Munir have 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 cease-fire would take effect immediately and reopen the Strait of Hormuz with 15-20 days to complete a broader settlement. The agreement, tentatively called the “Islamabad Agreement”, will include a regional framework for the strait with final face-to-face talks in Islamabad.
