Iran Sends New Proposal via Pakistan to End War, Reopen Hormuz

In a significant diplomatic manoeuvre aimed at de-escalating regional tensions, Tehran has reportedly submitted a "new proposal" to Washington through Pakistani intermediaries. 

According to a report by Axios, the Iranian offer outlines a framework to "reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the war," signalling a potential breakthrough in the protracted conflict.

The diplomatic initiative comes at a time when peace efforts have largely stalled. US President Donald Trump recently remarked that Tehran could "call" Washington if it wished to negotiate, while maintaining



that Iran must never acquire nuclear weapons.

Momentum for direct talks appeared to slow after the White House cancelled a planned visit to Islamabad by envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. The move was widely seen as a sign of dissatisfaction with Tehran's earlier proposal. 

At the centre of the deadlock is the US demand that Iran halt uranium enrichment for at least ten years and move its nuclear stockpile abroad. However, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi reportedly told mediators there is "no consensus within the Iranian leadership" on these demands.
