Iran 'presents US with road map for regionwide ceasefire and Hormuz reopening'
Iran has presented the US with a road map to end their conflict that includes a regionwide ceasefire, the gradual reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and an end to the US blockade of the country, regional sources told The National on Wednesday. They spoke a day after US and Iranian officials held talks on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York, in the latest bid to break the deadlock…
Iran has proposed a comprehensive roadmap to the United States aimed at ending the long-standing conflict, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and lifting the US blockade on the country. The plan, which was presented to US officials during talks in New York, includes a proposed 60-day ceasefire followed by a phased reopening of the strategic waterway, and an end to the sanctions imposed on Iran.
The Iranian delegation, which included Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and a team of experts and diplomats, met with US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and President Donald Trump's advisor Jared Kushner on Tuesday. The talks, which were mediated by Qatar, Pakistan, and Egypt, aimed to break the deadlock over efforts to end the conflict.
US President Trump, however, remains skeptical, having ruled out lifting the blockade before Iran took measures to demonstrate sufficient goodwill. The Iranian proposal also seeks to halt attacks on Arab neighbors and establish a timeline for negotiations to conclude the conflict. While the US has not yet agreed to the Iranian roadmap, the meeting marked the first significant step towards a potential diplomatic breakthrough.
