A dramatic new twist has emerged in the Iran-US crisis after reports claimed a secret Sino-Pakistani framework may be shaping a possible ceasefire deal. Diplomatic sources say China and Pakistan proposed a sweeping regional roadmap involving the Strait of Hormuz, sanctions relief, frozen Iranian assets and a new Gulf security structure that could weaken US dominance in the region. The explosive proposal reportedly pushes Washington into accepting a multi-power order where Beijing, Moscow, and regional players gain major influence over the post-war Middle East.
