Iran has presented the United States with a proposed regional ceasefire framework during talks at the United Nations General Assembly in New York, according to officials. The framework envisions a ceasefire lasting up to 60 days, followed by negotiations aimed at ending the conflict. The proposal also calls for a gradual reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and an end to the US blockade of Iran, though the latter remains contingent on Tehran's perceived goodwill.
The discussions involved Qatar, Pakistan, and Egypt, which have sought to prevent further escalation. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi was a key participant from Tehran. President Masoud Pezeshkian stated Iran's readiness for dialogue but not for force. The framework links Hormuz reopening to a temporary truce and defined negotiations, moving away from treating the strait as a standalone issue.
The proposal also requires a halt to Iranian attacks on Arab neighbors, a point of significance for Gulf governments. US President Donald Trump has insisted on continued economic isolation of Iran until Tehran stops attacks on shipping, abandons nuclear ambitions, and ends support for designated terrorist organizations. The diplomatic initiative aims to reduce military escalation risks and includes efforts by Gulf and Arab governments to establish a broader regional security arrangement.
