According to a report by Axios on the 26th, citing a U.S. official and two informed sources, the United States has received a new negotiation proposal from Iran, transmitted via Pakistan. The new proposal reported by Axios is broadly similar to the three-phase negotiation framework previously disclosed by Lebanon's Al Mayadeen television network. The three-phase negotiations focus sequentially on ending the war, matters concerning the Strait of Hormuz, and nuclear talks. The Axios report, citing two sources, states that Iran's new proposal first addresses resolving the Strait of Hormuz crisis and the U.S. blockade. As part of this plan, the ceasefire would be extended significantly, or all parties would agree to a permanent end to hostilities. Nuclear talks would only commence after the Strait of Hormuz is reopened and the U.S. blockade is lifted. (Xinhua News Agency)
