Iran proposes conditions for ending the war, drawing global attention to China as Pakistan's foreign minister rushes to Beijing!
On March 31, 2026, Iranian President Pezeshkian put forward prerequisites for ending the conflict, demanding a reliable assurance that Iran would no longer face aggression. On the same day, Pakistan's Foreign Minister Darr, despite a shoulder fracture, urgently flew to Beijing.
Iran has clearly stated that any agreement must include third-party guarantees; Tehran’s ceasefire terms include recognition of its legitimate rights, payment of war reparations, and international security assurances. Pakistan’s foreign minister’s visit to Beijing appears aimed precisely at fulfilling this core demand.
Now, trust between the conflicting parties has completely collapsed. For Tehran, Washington’s verbal promises hold no legal weight. Without a strong intermediary to back any negotiations, all talks risk being mere delaying tactics. Beijing has thus become the central front in this diplomatic breakthrough.
Looking globally, few countries possess the qualifications to take on such a role. But why should China be pulled into this fire? Why can’t Europe provide the guarantee?
Knife Brother believes that external speculation about China potentially becoming the agreement guarantor reflects more the world’s expectations of China’s diplomatic influence. In reality, China is more inclined to promote peace through joint initiatives—Egypt, the European Union, and Turkey must also join in.
