00:05and end the war.
00:07According to a report by Axios, citing sources, the plan was delivered through mediators in Pakistan
00:13and calls for an extension of the current ceasefire to create space for a permanent deal.
00:19Under the proposal, nuclear talks would be delayed until the U.S. lifts its blockade of the strait.
00:26The offer is reported to have reached the White House, but it is unclear if Washington will act on it.
00:34U.S. President Donald Trump is said to meet national security officials to decide the next steps.
00:39Efforts to restart talks stopped after Trump cancelled a planned trip by his envoys to Islamabad over the weekend.
00:46While a ceasefire has largely held since early April, both sides continue to enforce restrictions on the Strait of Hormuz,
00:55leaving the key energy route severely disrupted.
