Fresh details have surfaced on a 15-point proposal reportedly put forward by the United States to Iran as part of efforts to end the ongoing tensions between both countries.
According to Reuters, the proposal has already been transmitted to Iranian authorities, although the level of internal circulation within Tehran remains unclear.
Also, The New York Times, citing unnamed officials, reported that the plan was delivered to Iran through Pakistan as part of diplomatic backchannel efforts.
However, The Guardian noted that it is uncertain whether Iranian officials would accept the proposal as a basis for negotiations.
Meanwhile, Channel 12 disclosed key elements of the plan, which centres largely on curbing Iran’s nuclear ambitions and reshaping its regional activities.
Among the major conditions, Iran is expected to dismantle its nuclear programme, halt uranium enrichment, and surrender its enriched materials under a schedule to be agreed with the United States and Israel.
The proposal also calls for the decommissioning of major nuclear sites, including Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow, while granting international inspectors full access to Iran’s nuclear facilities and records.
In addition, the plan seeks to limit Iran’s missile capabilities, end its support for regional proxy groups, and guarantee free passage through the Strait of Hormuz.
In return, the United States is said to be offering a lifting of sanctions, removal of the snapback mechanism, and support for Iran’s civilian nuclear energy development, particularly at the Bushehr facility.
