💨 Abstract

The Trump administration proposed a 15-point ceasefire plan to Iran via Pakistani intermediaries, aiming to address Iran's missile and nuclear programs and secure key maritime routes like the Strait of Hormuz. This move surprised Israeli officials, who prefer continued conflict. Iran has dismissed the offer, continuing airstrikes and denying negotiations. The U.S. is deploying additional troops to the region, while Pakistan offers to host talks. Diplomatic efforts face significant challenges due to mutual distrust and shifting U.S.
