Iran has put forth a new proposal to the United States, calling for a resolution to ongoing conflicts within 30 days and seeking to end the current war. This initiative was reported by state-linked media.
President Donald Trump acknowledged on Saturday that he is reviewing the terms but voiced doubts about the likelihood of a successful agreement.
The Iranian plan outlines 14 points aimed at achieving a comprehensive end to hostilities, contrasting with a prior nine-point proposal put forth by the US.
Key elements of Iran's proposal include lifting US sanctions, ending the naval blockade, withdrawing military forces from the region, and ceasing all military actions, particularly those involving Israel in Lebanon.
Iran reportedly communicated this proposal through a Pakistani intermediary, as Pakistan has previously facilitated talks between the two nations.
Despite Trump rejecting an earlier Iranian proposal this week, diplomatic conversations continue, sustaining a fragile ceasefire that has lasted for three weeks.
In parallel, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi engaged in discussions with Oman’s Foreign Minister, who has played a role in past negotiations.
Trump has also suggested a new plan to reopen the strategic Strait of Hormuz, a critical passage for global oil trade.
Iran's deputy parliament speaker, Ali Nikzad, asserted that the country will not compromise on its position regarding the Strait of Hormuz, emphasizing that it will not revert to prewar conditions.
He declared that vessels not associated with the US or Israel could pass through the strait after paying a toll, despite US warnings of potential sanctions.
As tensions escalate, the Iranian economy is feeling the strain. The rial continues to decline against the dollar, reaching an exchange rate of 1,840,000 rials for one dollar.
This depreciation has sparked widespread protests over deteriorating economic conditions, with many factories halting contracts and jobs.
In a related humanitarian issue, the Norwegian Nobel Committee has called for immediate medical treatment for jailed Nobel laureate Narges Mohammadi, whose health has severely declined.
