Iran Sends New Proposals to US to Reopen Strait of Hormuz and End Conflict
TEHRAN/WASHINGTON: Iran has presented new proposals to the United States aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz and ending ongoing tensions, with suggestions to delay nuclear negotiations to a later stage, according to a report.
As reported by Axios, the Iranian proposal was conveyed to Washington through Pakistani intermediaries. The plan prioritizes resolving the Strait of Hormuz crisis and lifting the alleged US blockade before addressing broader nuclear issues.
Under the proposal, both sides could either extend a ceasefire for a longer period or reach a permanent agreement to end the conflict. Nuclear talks, the report said, would be postponed until after immediate tensions are reduced. The move is seen as an attempt to break the current diplomatic deadlock, particularly as divisions persist within Iran’s leadership over how much flexibility to show on its nuclear program.

The report noted that if the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is lifted and the conflict ends, it could weaken the diplomatic leverage of Donald Trump, who has been pushing Iran to roll back its enriched uranium stockpile and halt uranium enrichment.
A US official confirmed that the White House has received the proposal, but it remains unclear whether Washington is willing to consider it. President Trump is expected to chair a high-level meeting in the Situation Room with his national security and foreign policy team to discuss the ongoing stalemate and possible next steps.
