Iran proposes a new solution beyond "nuclear" to end the war

Iran, through Pakistani mediators, has submitted a new proposal to the United States aimed at reaching an agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the war, according to US officials and sources quoted by the news website Axios.

The sources said that the proposal calls for the postponement of the nuclear negotiations to a later stage, as it aims to overcome internal differences in Iran over nuclear concessions.

U.S. President Donald Trump  is expected to hold  a meeting on Iran with his top officials on Monday, where the meeting will discuss the impasse in negotiations with Iran and options for the next steps in the war.

In Pakistan, Araqchi discussed a new proposal that tries to overcome the current impasse over the nuclear program, the officials said.

They noted that the new Iranian-Pakistani proposal focuses first on resolving the Strait of Hormuz crisis and the US blockade, under which the ceasefire will be extended for a long period or an agreement to end the war permanently.

According to the proposal, nuclear negotiations will only begin at a later stage after the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the lifting of the blockade, and Pakistani mediators have presented the Iranian proposal to the White House, but it is not clear what Washington's willingness to discuss it.

Araqchi explained to the mediators the lack of consensus within Iran's leadership on Trump's demands on enriched uranium, according to Axios, and  the sources indicated that Iran's proposal is aimed at overcoming disagreements in the internal leadership over the required nuclear concessions.
