4月8日，在与巴基斯坦总理谢哈巴兹·谢里夫和陆军元帅阿西姆·穆尼尔会晤后，唐纳德·特朗普宣布与伊朗达成两周停火；当晚该安排已因是否覆盖以色列在黎巴嫩的军事行动而出现争议。经过持续了五周、已扰乱全球经济的战争，并且就在特朗普提出“把伊朗送回石器时代”最后期限前几小时，两国代表团同意于4月11日在伊斯兰堡面对面会晤。
巴基斯坦的角色在数字上十分显著：2022年，洪灾与燃油价格冲击把它推至接近违约边缘，它仅在从国际货币基金组织获得创纪录的第25次紧急融资并加上中国和海湾盟友援助后才得以避免违约；去年5月它还与印度进行了持续四天的空战。最近几个月它在阿富汗与塔利班交战，同时拥有与伊朗接壤的900公里边界，并在华盛顿代表伊朗利益近50年，这为其调解留下了空间。
这一进程愈发公开：在双方两年前互相进行导弹打击后，穆尼尔与伊朗革命卫队建立了直接接触，谢里夫接待了易卜拉欣·雷西，双方随后才走向当前的停火推动。巴基斯坦与特朗普和J.D.范斯进行近乎持续的通话，通过情报部门协调同伊朗接触，并承受实质代价——最突出的表现在4月4日阿联酋取消了35亿美元贷款展期——同时推动两阶段方案：先停火后直接会谈，由伊朗议会议长穆罕默德-巴格尔·加利巴夫和范斯分别率队，外交官们在约六周战斗后察觉到更强的达成意愿。
On 8 April, President Donald Trump announced a two-week ceasefire with Iran after talks with Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and field-marshal Asim Munir; by that evening the arrangement was already in doubt over whether it included Israel’s campaign in Lebanon. After five weeks of war that had disrupted the global economy, and just hours before Trump’s deadline to push Iran “back to the stone ages,” delegations from both countries agreed to meet face-to-face on 11 April in Islamabad.
Pakistan’s role is numerically striking: in 2022, floods and fuel-price shocks pushed it close to default, and it escaped only after emergency financing from the IMF for a world-record 25th time plus help from China and Gulf allies; last May it also fought a four-day air war with India. In recent months it fought the Taliban in Afghanistan, while maintaining a 900-kilometre border with Iran and nearly 50 years of representing Iranian interests in Washington, giving it room to mediate.
The process has become increasingly visible: after two years of reciprocal missile strikes, Munir opened direct contact with Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, Sharif hosted Ebrahim Raisi, and the parties later moved toward the current ceasefire push. Pakistan maintained near-continuous calls with Trump and J.D. Vance, coordinated Iran contacts through its intelligence service, and absorbed real costs—most sharply a canceled $3.5 billion UAE loan rollover on 4 April—while advancing a two-phase plan of ceasefire then direct talks led by Iran’s Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf and Vance, with diplomats sensing greater willingness after roughly six weeks of combat.
