00:22A new deal on the table and a possible turning point in one of the world's most dangerous standoffs.
00:30Iran has reportedly sent a fresh proposal to the United States, offering to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end
00:37hostilities, reported Axios.
00:42But there's a catch. Tehran wants to delay negotiations on its nuclear program.
00:47For now, the focus is clear. Stabilize the waterway, ease the global energy crisis, and stop the fighting.
00:56According to reports, the proposal was delivered through Pakistan, acting as a key mediator between the two sides.
01:02The deal outlines a phased approach. First, reopen Hormuz. Second, lift the U.S. naval blockade on Iranian ports.
01:11Third, extend the ceasefire. Or even move toward a permanent end to hostilities. Only after that would nuclear negotiations begin.
01:22A sequencing that shifts the immediate focus from long-term concerns to urgent economic and security pressures.
01:28The stakes are enormous. Nearly 20% of the world's oil flows through Hormuz.
01:36Its closure has already triggered supply disruptions, price volatility, and growing global concern.
01:42Re-opening it could ease markets almost instantly. But the response from Washington remains uncertain.
01:48The White House has acknowledged receiving the proposal, but stopped short of engaging publicly.
01:54And President Donald Trump has made his position clear.
01:57Any deal must prioritize U.S. interests and prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
02:02At the same time, diplomacy appears to be in flux.
02:06Trump recently canceled a planned visit by U.S. envoys to Islamabad, raising questions about the pace and direction of
02:13talks.
02:13He dismissed the trip as unnecessary, suggesting if Iran wants negotiations, it knows how to reach out.
02:21Meanwhile, Iran is actively engaging. Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi has returned to Pakistan for consultations.
02:29He's met with senior leadership, including Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif and Army Chief Asim Munir.
02:34And now he's into Moscow for talks with Vladimir Putin after Oman visit.
02:40A sign that Tehran is exploring multiple diplomatic channels, trying to build momentum and possibly leverage.
02:47The proposal itself reflects a strategic calculation.
02:51Separate the immediate crisis from the long-term dispute.
02:54Ease pressure now. Negotiate the harder issues later.
02:58But whether Washington will accept that framework is still unclear.
03:02Because for the U.S., the nuclear question remains central.
03:06For Iran, reopening Hormuz may be the priority.
03:10And between those positions lies the path to either de-escalation or renewed confrontation.
