Iran has delivered a counterproposal to the United States through a Pakistani mediator, calling for an immediate end to hostilities and demanding compensation for war-related damages. Additionally, Iran seeks recognition of its sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz and the lifting of sanctions on its oil sales for a 30-day period. In response, US President Donald Trump labeled the proposal as 'totally unacceptable,' indicating a continued stalemate in negotiations. Iranian officials have stated that their plans are not intended to win approval from Washington, emphasizing their sovereignty and independence in decision-making. The proposed deal includes a 30-day negotiation period after the cessation of fighting to finalize details, while discussions between Tehran and Washington will continue in written form. Despite a willingness from Iran to pause uranium enrichment, it has firmly rejected any dismantling of its nuclear facilities, complicating the diplomatic landscape further.
