Iran has presented a 14-point peace proposal to the United States through Pakistan, in response to Washington's earlier nine-point plan to end the war. Tehran has linked any deal to guarantees against future military strikes and financial compensation, according to Iranian media.
The proposal outlines a settlement plan that includes ending military actions across the region, lifting the naval blockade, and withdrawing foreign forces. It also calls for a new arrangement to govern the Strait of Hormuz, a major global energy route, and demands the lifting of sanctions, release of frozen Iranian assets, and compensation for damages.
Iran wants a complete settlement within 30 days, instead of the two-month ceasefire timeline suggested by the US. The US, however, has questioned whether Iran's proposal would be acceptable, with President Donald Trump saying he will review the plan but is not satisfied with Iran's position.
Violence continues in the region, with fresh Israeli strikes in Lebanon reportedly killing three people in Sammaiyeh in the Tyre district, despite a fragile ceasefire that has been in place since April 17.
