EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas discussed diplomatic prospects for ending the conflict between the USA and Iran with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. According to The National UAE, Iran has presented the US with a road map to end their conflict, which includes a regionwide ceasefire, the gradual reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and an end to the US blockade of the country.
The talks between US and Iranian officials were mediated by US allies Qatar, Pakistan, and Egypt. Iran's proposal involves a regionwide ceasefire of up to 60 days, a phased reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and an end to the US blockade. Iran is also seeking a timeline for negotiations to end the conflict while the proposed ceasefire is in force.
US President Donald Trump has ruled out lifting the blockade before Iran takes measures to show sufficient goodwill, according to The National UAE. The Iranian road map is seen as a detailed agenda for future, substantive negotiations to end the conflict and reach a comprehensive resolution.
