Washington: Iran has submitted a revised negotiation proposal aimed at ending the US-Israeli war against the country, prioritizing urgent issues between the two sides, as Washington reviews the plan without issuing a formal response.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, speculation has intensified in domestic and international media following reports that Iran sent a new proposal designed to halt the war. The plan is described as an amended version of an earlier initiative presented on April 25 during Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi's visit to Pakistan, which has mediated the talks.

The initial proposal, referred to by some foreign media as a 'three-stage plan,' outlined a step-by-step framework to end the war and ensure a cessation of hostilities. The updated version reportedly builds on that structure while placing stronger emphasis on immediate priorities.

Tehran argues that, given Washington's past breaches of commitments and acts of military aggression during previous negotiations, both sides must first reach an agreement on urgent and mutually important issues. The new proposal is therefore based on launching talks focused on the decisive end of all hostilities and guaranteeing the non-repetition of assaults against Iran.

Iranian officials maintain that, in light of previous experiences, including two instances of US and allied military strikes during nuclear negotiations, until an agreement is reached on the complete end of the war and guarantees of its non-repetition, there is no possibility of talks with the American side on any other issue.

The revised proposal was sent late last Thursday to the Pakistani mediator as a completed version of the earlier draft delivered during Araghchi's visit to Islamabad. Some Western media outlets claim that the United States has reviewed the proposal over the past week and introduced amendments. According to Axios, US special envoy Steve Witkoff examined the proposal Monday and suggested modifications, including a clause requiring Tehran to refrain from pursuing enriched uranium or restoring damaged nuclear facilities during negotiations.

US President Donald Trump told reporters on Friday night that the Iranian proposal did not satisfy him. However, Washington has yet to issue an official response. Analysts suggest the US may return the proposal with further revisions via the Pakistani mediator.

While an immediate end to the war could benefit both sides, some believe Washington may oppose the plan if it calculates that continued war or maritime pressure could yield greater concessions from Iran. In any case, the ball is for now in the US court to decide whether it wants peace or war.
