Iran Agrees to Nuclear Talks Within 30 Days Amid War-Ending Proposal

Iran has agreed to discuss its nuclear programme within 30 days as part of a 14-point response to a US proposal aimed at ending ongoing conflicts. Delivered through Pakistani mediators, Tehran's response demonstrates significant flexibility by addressing the nuclear file earlier than previously insisted. The proposal prioritizes an immediate end to hostilities across all fronts, including Lebanon, and calls for the lifting of US sanctions and the naval blockade on Iran. In exchange, Iran offered a gradual reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and proposed reducing uranium enrichment levels while transferring some stockpiles abroad, contingent on guarantees for their return if negotiations fail. However, Tehran rejected Washington's demand for upfront nuclear commitments and the dismantling of nuclear facilities. US President Donald Trump labeled the response 'totally unacceptable' on social media. While the proposal seeks a mutual cessation of war between Iran and its allies against the US and Israel, reports indicate that significant gaps remain between the two sides regarding the timeline for enrichment suspension and security guarantees.
