On April 8, 2026, the United States and Iran agreed to make a ceasefire (stop fighting) for two weeks during the 2026 Iran war. Pakistan helped both sides reach this agreement.
Before this, Pakistan suggested a plan called the Islamabad Accord. This plan would have stopped the fighting for 45 days in two different steps. Iran did not agree to that plan. Instead, Iran offered its own plan with 10 points to end the war.[1]
On 25 March, officials from Pakistan gave a "15-point proposal" to Iran. The United States led this plan to try to stop the war. Press TV, a news station in Iran, said that Iran did not accept the plan. Instead, Iran gave five conditions they want met before the war ends.
On 31 March, Pakistan and China suggested a "5 point initiative" for peace. They called for an immediate end to all fighting. They also asked for humanitarian aid (food and medicine) to be allowed into the area. [2]
