Iran has put forward a proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and bring an end to ongoing hostilities while postponing contentious nuclear negotiations, according to a report published on Sunday.
The plan, reportedly communicated to the United States through mediators including Pakistan, comes amid stalled diplomatic efforts over Tehran’s nuclear ambitions. Sources cited by Axios indicate that the proposal is designed to sidestep immediate disputes surrounding uranium enrichment and instead prioritize a rapid de-escalation of tensions.
Under the suggested framework, Iran envisions restoring maritime traffic through the strategic waterway and lifting restrictions as part of an initial agreement. In return, a long-term or potentially permanent ceasefire would be established, with nuclear discussions deferred to a later stage once stability is achieved.
US officials have acknowledged receiving the proposal, though no formal response has been announced. President Donald Trump is expected to convene a high-level national security बैठक in the Situation Room to assess the proposal and determine Washington’s next course of action.
Trump has previously signaled support for maintaining pressure on Tehran through a naval blockade of Iranian ports, suggesting that such measures could trigger internal strain within Iran’s economy.
