Iran reviewing peace proposal but won't reopen ⁠Strait of Hormuz ⁠for 'temporary ​ceasefire': Report

Reportedly, the ⁠official confirmed Iran had received ‌Pakistan's ‌proposal for an ‌immediate ‌ceasefire and was reviewing it.

Amid the ongoing talks about ceasefire between US and Iran, Iran has said that it won't reopen the ⁠Strait of Hormuz ⁠in exchange ‌for a "temporary ​ceasefire."

Reuters reported on Monday citing a senior Iranian official that Tehran is viewing Washington as ⁠lacking ‌the readiness for a ‌permanent ceasefire.

According to Reuters, the ⁠official confirmed Iran had received ‌Pakistan's ‌proposal for an ‌immediate ‌ceasefire and was reviewing it, adding ⁠that Tehran ⁠does not accept being pressured to accept deadlines and make ​a decision.

Axios on Sunday reported that backchannel discussions are underway on a possible 45-day ceasefire that could pave the way for a permanent end to the conflict.

The first phase involves a 45-day ceasefire, during which negotiations would continue toward a comprehensive agreement to end the war. The second phase would focus on finalising a permanent settlement. The ceasefire period could be extended if more time is needed for negotiations, said the report.

However, there has been no official confirmation from the White House or the US State Department.

US President Donald Trump on Sunday said that his deadline ⁠for Iran to open the ⁠Strait of Hormuz ‌or face ​attacks on critical infrastructure is Tuesday evening, according to an interview he gave to the ​Wall Street ⁠Journal on Sunday.
