Washington/Tehran Amidst the clouds of deepening war on the global stage, a news has come which has given great relief to the entire world. US President Donald Trump has announced a two-week ceasefire on military action against Iran. This diplomatic success has come at a time when within a few hours America was about to launch ‘devastating’ attacks on Iran’s major targets. Pakistan’s mediation has played the role of ‘game changer’ in this entire incident.
Trump’s deadline postponed, Iranian infrastructure gets relief
The Trump administration has currently suspended for two weeks all military orders that called for targeting Iran’s power plants and bridges. In a message released on ‘Truth Social’, Trump indicated that America has achieved its primary ‘military targets’ and now the priority is to establish lasting peace in the region. This step is being seen internationally as Trump’s diplomatic victory and a strategic decision to avoid war.
Iran agreed to the condition of opening Hormuz Strait
The biggest and most important condition of this ceasefire is related to the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has agreed to immediately and completely open this lifeline of global oil supplies. It is noteworthy that about 20% of the world’s crude oil is supplied through this route. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has said that if the US does not attack, Iran will also stop its defensive actions and provide safe passage to the ships.
What is the 10 and 15 point formula of peace?
The coming 14 days are going to be very important in terms of diplomacy, because both the countries have put their conditions on the table:
Iran’s 10-point proposal: Tehran has presented a special peace draft, which the White House has considered ‘practical’.
America’s 15-point plan: In response, America has also put forward 15 conditions related to its security and regional stability.
Now diplomats from both the countries will hold talks to find a common ground between these two proposals.
Effect of mediation of Shahbaz Sharif and General Munir
Iran has given credit for this agreement to the efforts of Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif and Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir. This diplomatic activism of Pakistan not only reduced the tension between the two nuclear powers and big military countries, but has also given great relief to the Asian markets. Since this announcement, tremendous greenery (boom) is being seen in the Asian stock markets.
Way forward: Eyes set on April 10 Islamabad meeting
Even though this ceasefire is only for two weeks, it is being seen as a ‘window’ towards a permanent peace agreement. A permanent solution to the war will be discussed in high-level talks to be held in Islamabad on April 10. People in Tehran are celebrating this agreement, while the prospects of falling crude oil prices in the global market have strengthened the economy.
