Iran has proposed a new deal to the United States aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz and ending ongoing hostilities, while deferring nuclear negotiations to a later phase. This approach, delivered through Pakistani intermediaries following Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi's unproductive visit to Pakistan, seeks to fast-track an agreement by avoiding contentious nuclear issues that have stalled diplomacy due to divisions within Iranian leadership. The U.S., while engaged in sensitive diplomatic discussions, has reiterated its commitment to ensuring Iran never acquires a nuclear weapon and will only pursue agreements that prioritize American interests. President Trump is expected to convene a Situation Room meeting with top advisors to address the escalating situation.
Iran has presented the United States with a new proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the ongoing conflict, which includes postponing nuclear negotiations to a later stage. The plan, conveyed through mediators in Pakistan, calls for extending the ceasefire so the parties can work toward a permanent end to the fighting. Nuclear talks would come later, only after a U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is lifted. The source said Pakistani mediators gave the proposal to the White House, but it’s unclear whether the US wants to explore it.
Iran, through Pakistani mediators, has presented the United States with a new proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the ongoing conflict, while postponing nuclear negotiations to a later stage. This development follows Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi's recent visit to Pakistan, which did not yield significant progress. The U.S. administration, led by President Donald Trump, is expected to convene a Situation Room meeting with top national security and foreign policy advisors to discuss potential actions in response to this proposal. The Iranian demand includes lifting the blockade on Iranian assets crossing the Strait, a leverage point the U.S. has used in nuclear negotiations. President Trump has indicated plans to maintain the blockade until a comprehensive deal is reached with the Iranian regime.
