As per reports, Iran accepts Pakistan-backed ceasefire after China intervenes; US talks set to take place on April 10 in Islamabad as Tehran pushes 10-point plan demands
Iran has accepted a two-week ceasefire proposal mediated by Pakistan following intense diplomatic efforts and last-minute intervention by China, according to three Iranian officials cited by The New York Times. The officials said the decision came amid rising concerns over economic damage caused by strikes on critical infrastructure. The ceasefire was reportedly approved by Iran’s new Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei.
In a statement, Iran’s National Security Council declared the outcome a “victory,” congratulating the Iranian people for their resistance during the five-week conflict involving the United States and Israel. “We congratulate the people of Iran for this victory and reiterate that until the final details of the victory are finalized, officials and people must remain united and defiant,” the council said.

The statement also claimed that the United States had agreed in principle to Iran’s 10-point peace framework, which includes guarantees against future attacks, Iranian oversight of the Strait of Hormuz, and compensation for war-related losses. However, US President Donald Trump struck a more cautious tone, saying in a post on Truth Social that Washington was willing only to discuss the proposal.
