On behalf of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi expressed gratitude to Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir for their “tireless efforts to end the war in the region.”

Araghchi confirmed that if attacks against Iran are suspended, the country’s “Powerful Armed Forces will cease their defensive operations” for two weeks. During this period, safe passage through the strategic Strait of Hormuz will be ensured in coordination with Iran’s military, taking technical limitations into account.
