Senior regional sources with knowledge of ongoing negotiations have revealed that the United States delivered a significant proposal to Iran during a visit by Pakistan's military chief, according to a report by Saudi broadcaster Al-Arabiya. The sources indicated that the offer, conveyed last night, contains terms that may prove difficult for Tehran to reject.
According to the Saudi report, Washington's proposal includes ending the naval blockade currently imposed on Iran and removing economic sanctions. In exchange, Iran would be required to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and cease attacks by its regional proxy forces on maritime targets and shipping lanes.
Field Marshal Asim Munir, Pakistan's army chief, reportedly carried the American proposal during his visit to Iran, where he held discussions with senior regime officials and delivered it directly to Iran's negotiating team. A parallel report from Saudi outlet Al-Hadath stated that General Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, informed Munir that Tehran would continue internal consultations and provide its response soon.
Mehdi Tabatabaei, deputy head of communications in the Iranian president's office, posted on his X account in response to the reports: "The visit of Field Marshal Asim Munir, commander of the army of friendly Pakistan, to Iran was very fruitful and full of valuable diplomatic achievements, the results of which will become clear soon."
