US News / Iran : Despite no official confirmation of a second round of direct talks, behind-the-scenes efforts to ease tensions between Iran and the United States appear to be gaining momentum. Tehran has reportedly sent a fresh peace proposal to Washington, signaling a willingness to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and work toward ending the conflict.
Backchannel Diplomacy Gains Pace
According to a report citing U.S. officials and sources familiar with the matter, Iran has used Pakistani intermediaries to communicate its latest proposal to the United States. The offer focuses on de-escalation measures, including reopening the Strait of Hormuz—a critical global oil route—and moving toward a ceasefire.

Key Elements of Iran’s Proposal
The proposal reportedly outlines several major conditions:
- Reopening the Strait of Hormuz to restore maritime trade
- A ceasefire that could be extended long-term or made permanent
- Lifting of economic blockades imposed on Iran
- Postponement of nuclear negotiations to a later stage
- Iran has indicated that discussions around its nuclear program would only resume once the waterway is reopened and sanctions are fully lifted.
Nuclear Talks Put on Hold
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has reportedly conveyed to mediators that there is no internal consensus within Iran’s leadership regarding U.S. demands on enriched uranium. As a result, Tehran prefers to delay nuclear negotiations until broader conditions—such as economic relief and secure trade routes—are met.
U.S. Yet to Respond
Sources suggest that the White House has received the proposal, but it remains unclear whether the U.S. administration is willing to consider Iran’s terms. No official response has been made public so far.
Global Impact at Stake
If the Strait of Hormuz is reopened, it could significantly ease pressure on global oil supply chains, offering much-needed stability to energy markets worldwide.
While uncertainties remain, the latest move highlights a possible opening for diplomacy, even as public signals from both sides remain cautious.
