Iran offered 10-point proposal to end war with US and Israel - NYT
The New York Times has reported details of what it says is a 10-point Iranian proposal aimed at ending the war, which includes a fee to pass the Strait of Hormuz and ending Israeli attacks on Hezbollah.
The plan was reportedly conveyed through Pakistan, which has been acting as a key intermediary in the conflict, but appeared unlikely to resolve major issues ahead of President Donald Trump’s Tuesday evening deadline for new attacks on Iran.
Two senior Iranian officials, speaking anonymously to discuss the sensitive negotiations, said the proposal includes guarantees that Iran would not face further attacks, an end to Israeli strikes against Hezbollah in Lebanon and the lifting of all sanctions on Tehran.
In return, Iran would lift its de facto blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, the vital shipping route through which a large share of global oil supplies passes.
Under the proposal, Iran would also impose a fee of roughly $2 million per ship transiting the strait, splitting the proceeds with Oman, which sits across the waterway.
Tehran would use its share of the funds to rebuild infrastructure damaged in US and Israeli strikes, rather than seek direct compensation, according to the plan.
