Iran presents a plan to end the war through Pakistani mediation
In reports published on May 2, 2026, Kazem Gharib-Abadi, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs, confirmed that Iran has passed an official proposal to Pakistan aimed at "a permanent end to the war of coercion."

According to channels identified with the Iranian regime, including خبرفوری ࡆ اخبارفوری مذاکره ࡆ جنگ فوری and کانال اخبار سپاه پاسداران 🏴, Gharib-Abadi clarified that "the ball is now in the US court." According to him, Washington must decide whether it wishes to choose the "path of diplomacy" or continue its approach of confrontation.
Similar statements were also published on חامیان پزشکیان and فارس بینالملل و سیاست خارجی, where it was emphasized that Tehran remains skeptical regarding the US's intentions. Gharib-Abadi noted that the Islamic Republic maintains its "distrust of the US and its sincerity in the diplomatic process," regardless of the path it ultimately chooses.
The sources that reported the news, which include bodies identified with security and government mechanisms in Iran (such as the Revolutionary Guards and Fars News Agency), emphasize the narrative that Iran is prepared for both scenarios – diplomatic or military – while defending its national interests. At this stage, no official response has yet been received from the United States or Pakistan regarding the details of the plan.
