A ceasefire proposal was conveyed to the US and Iran with Pakistan's mediation. If the parties accepted the proposal, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz was anticipated. However, Iran rejected the proposal. The Tehran administration demanded a guarantee that the war would be completely ended in order to accept the ceasefire.
After the attacks by the US-Israel on Iran, Donald Trump, who threatened the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, extended the deadline he gave to Iran to make a deal and open the critical route. The Washington administration has given Tehran a deadline until April 8, but Tehran insists on not opening the Strait. While the whole world closely follows the developments, a two-stage agreement proposal has been presented to the US and Iran.
IRAN REJECTS THE PROPOSAL: WE WANT GUARANTEES
Iran's Foreign Minister Ismail Bakayi stated that they demand guarantees that the war will be completely ended in order to accept the ceasefire, saying, "We reject the temporary ceasefire proposal. It would mean the continuation of the crime," thus announcing their rejection of the US proposal.
DETAILS OF THE PREPARED PLAN
According to the prepared plan, the process would progress in two stages. In the first stage, the parties were to declare a ceasefire, and in the second stage, a comprehensive agreement was to be reached. The parties were given approximately 20 days to realize a broad peace process. The final negotiations were planned to be held face-to-face in Islamabad.
THEY TALKED THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT
On the other hand, Pakistan Army Chief Marshal Asim Munir continued his contacts throughout the night with US Vice President JD Vance and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Arakchi.
ALL EYES ON TRUMP'S THREATS AGAIN
With Iran rejecting the proposal, attention turned again to the threats of US President Donald Trump. US President Donald Trump had extended the 48-hour deadline he gave to the Tehran administration to make a deal until April 8. Previously, Trump had threatened Iran with consequences if it did not open the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours, stating, "On Tuesday at 20:00 Eastern Time (03:00 on April 8, Wednesday, Turkey time)" in his post.
