Pakistan, through its efforts, has already achieved a breakthrough that few people have noticed.
The standoff over the Strait of Hormuz may remain but no one is returning to hostilities, thanks to Pakistan.
Ensuring that Trump agrees to an open-ended ceasefire allows all sides to give diplomacy a chance.
As pointed out before, apart from other differences, Iran and the US have a major difference on how to seek a permanent end to the war.
What I understand is that Iran's Foreign Minister, in a written response to US proposals, first wants to seek an agreement on the Strait of Hormuz.
Talks on nuclear and other issues would come later.
Trump, however, wants an all-in-one deal.
It is said that the US President will chair an important meeting on Monday to respond to Tehran's proposal.
