US President Donald Trump is reviewing a Pakistan-backed proposal for a two-week ceasefire and reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. This proposal comes as a deadline for Iran to lift its blockade approaches. Trump has warned of further strikes on Iranian infrastructure if no agreement is reached.
Pakistani PM Shahbaz Sharif directly appealed to US President Trump for a two-week extension to the Iran deadline, simultaneously urging Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Pakistan suggested Iran open the strait for a corresponding period as a gesture of goodwill. The US President had previously warned of destroying all Iranian infrastructure if the blockade continued.
President Trump issued an ultimatum to Iran, warning of severe consequences if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened.
