Sir, what I think is being mooted is a cessation for some period to allow meaningful and conclusive talks to take place before things go into an apocalyptic spiral.Unless we can develop and test a nuke uninterrupted, I don’t see how a ceasefire could be favorable to us.

Exactly. These people are forming human chains because they want to protect their infrastructure, because they love their country. Nobody is forcing them to go there.Americans will always give impression that only they love their country, and no one else can or should. If you ask a American will you fight if someone invade US they will say yes we will fight and die, and kill everyone and anyone, but the moment you say that so the Iraqi's or others who were fighting your invasion are same as you, they will stutter so bad.
People should be kept from harm but i don't see any Iranian Army pointing guns at those women and children to push them infront of these Power plants and hold them hostage there, and since when they give a crap about Iranians ? first you send weapons to have a civil war, when that failed you killed 180 Iranian children, and constantly bombing civilian areas and now they gives a shit? like I said its cringy that they don't see the irony in their own statements.
China is just seeing America reduce its global footprint in the middle East and is more than happy to play The long game, just like they have done in every other middle East episode of the last 10 years.US is strangling Chinas energy supply from stealing Venezuelan oil and now it’s attempt on Iranian oil . China will need oil supply if it ever decides to invade break away Taiwan. Don’t focus to much on trade deals this is the bigger geopolitical issue for China.
No, but both Pakistan and India were looking for off-ramp before things got really destructive. This is what Pakistan is advising both sides.When Indians Attacked Pakistan in that skirmish we had recently and a third country had said stand down cos we dont want Pakistanis to die what would we have said? would we have stood down?
The nerve is not in question, but the infrastructure of the country will not be kept up and running through nerve
Don't take this as endorsing the loss of leverage, I don't even understand why a temporary cessation to explore a satisfactory end would be a loss of leverage.....
everyone is losing their marbles, you can have a go at discussions, maybe two days maybe four days, and then get back to where you were if it does not work out.
It is obvious now anyway that this will need more than one round to come to a conclusive end, the main point here is you don't let things escalate into apocalyptic spirals
The hold on the choke points has been established by Iran, so they can do it again after a day or three.
To all my Pakistani brothers, let's be honest here. The only reason you think this ceasefire is a good deal is because your country is involved in this. No problem I would maybe feel the same as you. But from an Iranian POV I don't understand how you can take this. Please put yourself in our shoes.

Pakistan is stuck between a rock and a hard place: the vote abstention on the UAE proposed resolution on opening the Strait of Hormuz proves that.
Pakistan’s actions prove it is truly playing a neutral role in the region: it is neither pro/anti-Iran, or pro/anti-Saudi or pro/anti-US. That is the fact.
That is why it gains the respect of all stakeholders in the region to act as the mediator.
Pakistan is truly non-aligned in its approach, when it comes to Iran, Saudi Arabia or the US.
If Pakistan was acting at the behest of Saudi Arabia or the US, it would have been directly involved against Iran. It has made an active effort not to get involved, even though I am sure they must have been given huge financial incentives and possibly other reasons to join the conflict against Iran.
Hence, one can conclude that Pakistan’s non-aligned approach and asking for a ceasefire is truly neutral.
The only country Pakistan is perfectly aligned with China. Iran made a strategic blunder not aligning closer with China, and this is where Iran could have learned from Pakistan. Top Chinese military technology for Iran would have helped Iran significantly for this war, and they would not have incurred as many losses if they had access to the best Chinese technologies.
