Tehran Pushes New Diplomatic Framework to End Conflict
Iran has disclosed details of a new 14-point proposal submitted to the United States aimed at ending the ongoing conflict between Washington, Israel, and Tehran. The plan was presented during a parliamentary briefing in Tehran.
Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi shared the proposal with members of parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee. He described it as a comprehensive roadmap for de-escalation and long-term stability.
According to official statements, the proposal focuses on ending hostilities across multiple fronts and restoring diplomatic channels between Iran and the United States. It also calls for a structured agreement to reduce regional tensions.
Iran emphasized that any deal must respect its right to uranium enrichment for peaceful nuclear purposes. Officials said this remains a core condition in any future negotiations.
Sanctions Relief, Military Withdrawal, and Compensation Demands
The Iranian proposal includes several key demands. These include lifting unilateral sanctions imposed on Iran and removing United Nations Security Council restrictions.
Tehran also calls for the release of frozen Iranian financial assets held abroad. It further demands compensation from the United States for damage caused during recent military escalation, which Iran says would support reconstruction efforts.
Another major point in the proposal is the withdrawal of United States forces from areas surrounding Iran. Officials say this step is necessary to reduce regional military tensions and build trust.
The plan also addresses regional conflicts, including an end to hostilities in Lebanon and surrounding conflict zones. Iran stated that a comprehensive ceasefire is essential for any lasting agreement.
Iranian officials also confirmed that earlier proposals were exchanged through mediators, including Pakistan, but were rejected by the United States. Washington reportedly described the earlier offer as unacceptable.
Rising US–Iran Tensions and Fragile Diplomatic Efforts
The diplomatic exchange comes amid heightened tensions between the United States and Iran. Former U.S. President Donald Trump has publicly warned of possible military escalation if negotiations fail.
Recent statements from Washington included threats of renewed strikes and military readiness, increasing global concern over potential conflict escalation in the region.
At the same time, reports indicate that a planned military strike was recently postponed following requests from regional allies, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates.
Iranian media also reported that earlier negotiations mediated through Pakistan did not result in progress, prompting Tehran to revise and expand its diplomatic proposal.
Tensions have further increased after the United States imposed restrictions on Iranian maritime access, including measures affecting key shipping routes near the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran responded by tightening control over maritime movement in the region, requiring coordination for vessel passage through strategic waters.
Officials warned that continued pressure could destabilize the fragile ceasefire environment and lead to renewed confrontation if no agreement is reached.
Despite ongoing tensions, Iran says it remains open to diplomacy if core demands are addressed in any final agreement.
