WASHINGTON/CAIRO ¨C The United ?States and Iran have received the framework of a plan to end hostilities, a day after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to rain ¡°hell¡± on Tehran if it did not make a deal, although Iran said it ?would not reopen the Strait of Hormuz as ?part of ?a temporary ceasefire.
The peace plan involves a two-tier ?approach with an immediate ceasefire followed by a comprehensive agreement. Pakistan¡¯s army chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, has been in contact ¡°all ?night long¡± with U.S. Vice President JD Vance, special envoy Steve Witkoff and ?Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, a source aware of the proposals said Monday.
Iran won¡¯t reopen ?the strait as part ?of a temporary ceasefire, a senior Iranian official said Monday, adding that Iran won¡¯t ?accept deadlines as ?it reviews the proposal.
