Pakistan officials report the U.S. has presented a 15-point proposal to Iran, encompassing sanctions relief, nuclear cooperation, nuclear program rollback, IAEA monitoring, missile limits, and shipping access. This comes as the U.S. prepares to deploy troops to the Middle East, with ongoing challenges regarding Iranian negotiation willingness and objectives.
Iran received a 15-point proposal from the U.S. to reach a ceasefire in the war, two Pakistani officials said Wednesday.The Pakistani officials described the proposal broadly as touching on sanctions relief, civilian nuclear cooperation, a rollback of Iran ’s nuclear program , monitoring by the International Atomic Energy Agency, missile limits and access for shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf.
