Iran Proposes Three-Stage Negotiation Plan to the U.S.

Iran has reportedly conveyed a three-stage negotiation proposal to the United States through intermediaries. According to PANews, the first stage of the talks focuses on ending the war completely and securing guarantees against renewed hostilities towards Iran and Lebanon. If an agreement is reached in this initial phase, the discussions will move to the second stage, which will specifically address the management of the Strait of Hormuz. The third stage involves nuclear issues, but Iran insists it will not engage in nuclear discussions until agreements are reached in the first two stages.
