Tehran pushes Islamabad Understanding to de-escalate maritime blockade

Iran publicly frames the Islamabad Understanding as the only viable framework to halt the blockade and maritime escalation, calling a return to it a pragmatic move rather than a concession. The statement signals a potential diplomatic off-ramp, but it remains unclear whether Pakistan accepts the framework or if the blockade continues. This matters because it could de-escalate a major maritime standoff affecting regional trade and security.
