Al Jazeera reported that it obtained details of an Iran framework proposal submitted to the United States, saying the plan includes three stages aimed at ending the war, addressing nuclear enrichment and launching a regional security dialogue.
Citing sources, the network said the proposal calls for a ceasefire across the region and on all fronts. The first stage is intended to turn a ceasefire into a complete end to the war after at least 30 days and includes the establishment of an international body to ensure that fighting does not resume.
The proposal also includes a commitment by Iran and its allies not to attack U.S. forces in the region or Israel, in exchange for a commitment by Israel not to attack Iran.
The proposal calls for the gradual reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, with Iran overseeing mine-clearing operations and not opposing U.S. support. It includes the gradual lifting of a blockade on Iran’s ports alongside the reopening of the strait.
Al Jazeera said the first stage also includes a revised compensation clause and an end to the military buildup.
The second stage addresses a freeze on uranium enrichment. Al Hadath reported that the proposal includes negotiations in three stages over one month, with Iran agreeing to enrichment at 3.5% and the gradual removal of uranium.
Al Jazeera reported that the proposal rejects dismantling nuclear infrastructure or destroying facilities. It also addresses the fate of Iran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium, including possible export or reduction of enrichment levels.
The proposal stresses the need for a clear mechanism to lift sanctions in exchange for nuclear steps. Sanctions relief would include the gradual release of frozen funds according to a defined timetable.
Al Hadath reported that Iran dropped its demand for a U.S. withdrawal from the region and is seeking Chinese and Russian involvement to guarantee any agreement. The network said Iran made concessions in its latest proposal.
In the third stage, Tehran proposes entering a strategic dialogue with Arab and regional countries to build a security system covering the entire region.
