Iran has reportedly submitted a new proposal to the United States, aiming to resolve ongoing hostilities and reopen the strategic Strait of Hormuz, which is crucial for global energy supplies. The deal, communicated through Pakistan, suggests extending a ceasefire and postponing discussions regarding Iran's nuclear program until after the Strait is reopened and the US naval blockade on Iranian ports is lifted. The White House has acknowledged receipt of the proposal but remains hesitant to negotiate sensitive diplomatic issues publicly. White House spokesperson Olivia Wales reiterated that the US will prioritize its national interests and ensure that Iran does not acquire nuclear weapons. This proposal comes in the wake of stalled negotiations, with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi recently consulting with Pakistani officials and now traveling to Russia for discussions with President Vladimir Putin. The ongoing tensions and the cancellation of US envoy visits highlight the fragile state of US-Iran relations.
