Iran has submitted a 10-point proposal to the U.S. through Pakistani mediators to resolve ongoing conflicts [3].
This diplomatic push represents a strategic attempt by Tehran to secure its regional interests while potentially easing tensions with Washington. The involvement of Islamabad as a neutral intermediary highlights the complex geopolitical layering required to facilitate communication between the two adversarial powers.
Ismail Baghaei, the spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, said Monday that the government is working to reach the best solutions for the interests of the country [1]. He said that the current negotiations include a specific provision aimed at stopping the aggression against Lebanon [1].
Baghaei said that the 10-point proposal [3] was delivered to Pakistan to settle the dispute with the U.S. While Iran has presented its terms, the spokesperson said that the American peace proposal is still under study in Tehran via the Pakistani mediators [2].
These diplomatic efforts have been ongoing since May 8 [4]. However, the path to a final agreement remains unclear. While some reports indicate that Iran is actively pursuing a potential agreement with the U.S. [4], other sources suggest there is currently no plan for a second round of direct negotiations [4].
Baghaei said, "We are working to reach the best solutions for the interests of our country, and the agreement included a clause to stop the aggression against Lebanon" [1]. He said, "The American proposal for peace is still under study in Tehran through Pakistani mediators" [2].
Despite the submission of the 10-point plan [3], some officials have warned that military tensions remain high. The contrast between the formal proposal and the persistent volatility on the ground suggests that a diplomatic breakthrough may be distant, even as both sides engage in indirect communication.
“The American proposal for peace is still under study in Tehran through Pakistani mediators.”
The use of Pakistan as a diplomatic bridge indicates that Iran is seeking a structured, indirect way to negotiate with the U.S. without granting formal legitimacy to direct talks. By linking a broader peace deal to the cessation of hostilities in Lebanon, Tehran is attempting to leverage its regional influence to secure a security guarantee for its allies while seeking a path toward sanctions relief or stabilized relations with Washington.
