Iran Peace Plan Proposed by China and Pakistan

China and Pakistan have put forward a five-point proposal to end the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran, now in its fifth week.

The roadmap was unveiled by China's Foreign Ministry late Tuesday following talks between Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and his Pakistani counterpart Mohammad Ishaq Dar in Beijing.

Pakistan maintains close ties with both Washington and Tehran and has in recent days positioned itself as an intermediary, saying it conveyed to Iran a U.S. peace plan.

China and its Pakistani ally have opposed the U.S.-Israeli strikes since they began on February 28 while also condemning Iran's retaliatory actions in the Gulf, including attacks affecting shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, where traffic has slowed sharply.
