Major foreign media reported that the United States conveyed a 15-point set of terms for ending the war to Iran through Pakistan.

On the 25th, the Associated Press cited two Pakistani officials as saying that the U.S. proposal was delivered to Iran. According to the AP, the proposal included 15 items such as easing sanctions on Iran, abandoning its nuclear program, limiting missile range and quantity, and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. An Egyptian official involved in the mediation also told the AP that it included a halt to Iran's support for pro-Iran armed groups in the Middle East.

Reuters also reported the same content that day, citing an Iranian official. However, the official did not say whether the proposal contained 15 items, and said Türkiye is also helping to end the war, with both Pakistan and Türkiye seeking to provide a venue for cease-fire talks between the United States and Iran.

The previous day, U.S. outlets including CNN and the New York Times (NYT) also reported that the United States conveyed a 15-point set of cease-fire terms through Pakistan. However, the Iranian government and military say they have never negotiated with the United States directly or indirectly. Iran has not issued an official position on reports that it received a cease-fire proposal through Pakistan.
