A revised proposal from Iran to resolve the Middle East conflict has been communicated to the United States by Pakistan, according to a country source speaking to Reuters, while peace talks appear to remain deadlocked. “We don’t have much time,” the source said, adding that both sides are “constantly changing their goals.”
Reuters: Reports of new Iranian proposal
It should be recalled that US President Donald Trump warned Tehran that “time is running out” and that “if they don’t move quickly, there will be nothing left of them.” “For Iran, the clock is counting down and they must move FAST, otherwise nothing will be left of them. TIME IS PRESSING!” he wrote characteristically. A few hours later, according to Pakistani sources, Tehran sent a revised proposal through Pakistan aimed at ending the war in the Middle East.
Negotiations reach critical point
As efforts to end hostilities intensify, Reuters reported that Tehran’s move represents a new deescalation initiative between the two countries. A Pakistani official emphasized that negotiations have reached a “particularly sensitive stage.” “We don’t have much time left. Both sides are constantly changing terms and moving the goalposts,” the same source said characteristically.
This development comes at a time when behind-the-scenes diplomacy has intensified, aimed at ending the ongoing hostilities in the region. However, it remains uncertain what stance the US will take toward the new proposal submitted by Iran.
CENTCOM spokesperson: Washington monitors Iran’s maritime movements
This development comes as CENTCOM confirmed Iran’s naval blockade. CENTCOM spokesperson Colonel Timothy Hawkins told Al Arabiya that US forces have diverted the course of more than 80 ships since the blockade began, noting that Washington is monitoring “anything Iran tries to import or export.”
He emphasized that US strikes against Iran were “particularly effective” and that the US achieved its objectives. As he noted, a large part of Iran’s military capabilities have been destroyed, while Tehran’s ability to launch missiles and drones has been reduced. At the same time, he accused Iran of “deliberate attacks against civilians.”
