Pakistan channels Iran’s revised offer to US
The ceasefire proposal has been submitted to the US.

Pakistan has officially transmitted a new revised proposal from Tehran to Washington in a bid to de-escalate regional tensions. A Pakistani source said time is running out as both sides keep shifting terms. US President Donald Trump claimed Iran is “eager to sign a deal,” while Tehran confirmed back-channel talks continue despite difficulties.

A fresh diplomatic initiative has been launched between Iran and the United States, with Pakistan acting as an intermediary. According to a Pakistani source, Tehran’s updated proposal was formally delivered to Washington via Islamabad on Monday night.

Time pressure and shifting terms

The source emphasized the urgency of the process, saying, “We don’t have much time left. Both sides keep moving the goalposts and shifting targets to different points.” The remarks highlight the fragile nature of ongoing back-channel efforts aimed at lowering tensions in the region.

Trump’s claim and Tehran’s response

US President Donald Trump said in a recent interview that Iran is “eager to sign an agreement.” Meanwhile, Iran’s government issued a statement acknowledging that despite all difficulties, “exchanges of views continue with the United States.”

Uncertain roadmap ahead

The development comes as indirect talks intensify to resolve ongoing conflicts through diplomatic means. While the revised offer has been transmitted, it remains unclear how both sides will proceed with the new proposal. A narrowing timeline and constantly updated conditions continue to shape the negotiation landscape.
