Iran has reportedly advanced a multi-stage negotiation framework tying an end to the war and guarantees against renewed attacks on Iran and Lebanon to later discussions on the Strait of Hormuz and ultimately its nuclear file. According to China Central Television, the proposal was delivered through intermediaries in three stages, while Axios reported that Tehran sent the United States a proposal through Pakistani mediators focused on reopening the Strait of Hormuz and ending the war before broader nuclear negotiations. Additional reported Iranian positions include requiring Hormuz transit fees to be paid in rial and barring ships or cargo linked to Israel from passing, while Iranian media denied earlier reports that transit fees would be crypto-based. The available material does not establish whether all of these elements are part of one formal, enacted policy.
