Iran, while still reviewing Islamabad’s proposal, has said that it won’t reopen Hormuz as part of a temporary ceasefire.

Esmail Baghaei, Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman, acknowledged diplomatic efforts by Pakistan, which has shared plan with Iran and the United States to end hostilities, according to the Reuters.
