Iran has sent a new diplomatic proposal to the United States through Pakistani mediators, aiming to de-escalate tensions and revive negotiations. The plan reportedly focuses on reopening the strategically crucial Strait of Hormuz and ending hostilities, while postponing contentious nuclear discussions to a later stage. Pakistan is acting as a backchannel facilitator, carrying messages between Washington and Tehran amid stalled direct talks. The proposal comes despite ongoing mistrust and disagreements, particularly over Iran’s uranium enrichment program. While a ceasefire has held since April, both sides remain cautious, and the US is yet to formally respond to the latest offer. (PC: HT)
