The statement came after reports suggested that Islamabad had shared a framework between the United States and Iran to end hostilities, which could come into effect on Monday and lead to the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
According to sources, the framework was exchanged with Iran and the United States overnight and outlines a two-tier approach involving an immediate ceasefire followed by a comprehensive agreement.
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 believes Washington is not ready for a permanent ceasefire.
The official confirmed that Iran had received Pakistan’s proposal for a ceasefire and was reviewing it, emphasizing that Tehran does not accept being pressured to accept deadlines or make a decision.

“All elements must be agreed today,” the source who spoke about the proposal said, adding that the initial understanding would be structured as a memorandum of understanding finalized electronically through Pakistan, the only communication channel in the talks.
axios first reported on Sunday that the United States, Iran and regional mediators were discussing a possible 45-day ceasefire as part of a two-phase agreement that could lead to a permanent end to the war, citing US, Israeli and regional sources.
The source said Reuters that the Chief of the Defense Forces and Chief of the Army Staff, Field Marshal Asim Munir, has been in contact “all night” 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 to 20 days to finalize a broader agreement. The deal, tentatively called the “Islamabad Agreement,” would include a regional framework for the strait, with final in-person talks in Islamabad.
