Doha, May 4 (V7N) — Iran has put forward a 14-point proposal to the United States through Pakistan, calling for the resolution of all outstanding issues within 30 days, according to a report by Al Jazeera on Sunday.
The proposal is aimed not at extending the current ceasefire but at bringing a permanent end to hostilities, Iranian officials indicated. The semi-official Nour News, known for its close ties to Iran’s security institutions, described the initiative as a response to a previously proposed nine-point plan by the United States.
Key demands in Iran’s proposal include the lifting of US sanctions, an end to naval blockades, and the withdrawal of American forces from the Middle East. Tehran also called for an end to all forms of hostility in the region, including Israeli military actions in Lebanon.
Despite US President Donald Trump rejecting an earlier Iranian proposal last week, diplomatic engagement between the two sides remains ongoing. A fragile ceasefire, in place for the past three weeks, is still believed to be holding.
In parallel diplomatic efforts, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi held a phone call on Sunday with Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi to discuss the ceasefire and broader bilateral issues. Oman has previously played a mediating role in multiple rounds of indirect talks between Tehran and Washington prior to the conflict.
According to details of the proposal, Iran’s second phase would allow it to resume uranium enrichment at 3.6 percent under a “zero stockpile” policy after the agreed timeframe. The plan also stipulates that both the United States and Israel must refrain from attacking Iran or its allies, in exchange for Iran halting its own military actions.
The proposal firmly rejects dismantling Iran’s nuclear infrastructure or destroying its facilities. It also outlines a structured timeline for the gradual release of frozen Iranian assets as sanctions are lifted.
In its third phase, Tehran has proposed initiating strategic dialogue with neighboring Arab states and regional countries to establish a comprehensive security framework across the Middle East.
No official response has yet been issued by Washington regarding the latest proposal.
