Fars News Agency, close to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), reported on Saturday that the Islamic Republic of Iran has sent a 14-point proposal to Washington through a Pakistani intermediary in an effort to end the war. According to the report, the proposal was prepared and delivered after going through decision-making processes in government bodies and obtaining the necessary approvals.
Fars continued by stating that this proposal emphasizes Iran’s “red lines” while providing a roadmap for ending the war. However, no details of the content of this plan or the 9-point proposal from the United States have been disclosed.
At the same time, Tasnim News Agency reported that in its 14-point proposal, Tehran has stressed the need to resolve the status of the war within 30 days, while Washington has called for a ceasefire of 2 months. This difference in perspectives reflects the continued distance between the two sides in reaching an agreement.
According to Tasnim, the main points of the proposal include guarantees of non-aggression, the withdrawal of U.S. forces from the region, the lifting of the naval blockade, the release of frozen assets, payment of compensation, the lifting of sanctions, and the creation of a new mechanism for managing the Strait of Hormuz. The agency also reported that Tehran is awaiting an official response from Washington.
Previously, the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) reported on Friday that Iranian officials had sent their latest negotiation proposal to the U.S. through Pakistan as a mediator.
Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that he was not satisfied with the latest proposal from Iran, saying, “I’m not sure we’re going to make a deal.”
At the same time, The Wall Street Journal reported that Iran’s 14-point plan to break the diplomatic deadlock with Washington shows signs of a potential compromise. The newspaper also wrote that Tehran is considering the possibility of starting a new round of talks early next week.
According to the report, Iran has proposed a two-stage plan: In the first stage, the issues of the Strait of Hormuz, conditions for ending the war, and receiving guarantees from the U.S. to stop attacks will be discussed, while in the second stage, the nuclear program and sanctions will be addressed.
