WANA (May 03) – The Iranian Ambassador to Pakistan, Reza Amiri Moghadam, has confirmed that Tehran has submitted a formal negotiation proposal aimed at securing a permanent end to the war.

 

In an interview, the Ambassador stated that the plan was delivered to Pakistani officials, who are serving as the primary mediators in the current process, to be relayed to the United States.

 

Reliance on Diplomacy and Pakistani Mediation

Ambassador Amiri Moghadam expressed Iran’s commitment to the diplomatic path while emphasizing that Tehran remains transparent regarding its positions. Key points from his statement include:

 

Role of Pakistan: He affirmed that Pakistan remains the sole mediator between Iran and the U.S., noting that both sides appear satisfied with this arrangement and praising Islamabad’s “worthy efforts” to resolve the conflict.

 

Conditions for Progress: The Ambassador remarked that while the international community witnesses Iran’s logical approach, the U.S. continues to exhibit “unstable behavior”. He asserted that for negotiations to advance, the United States must change its aggressive conduct and respect the rights of the Islamic Republic.

 

Defense and Sovereignty: He clarified that Iran would not allow any exploitation by enemies during a ceasefire or negotiations and remains prepared to take necessary measures to defend its people.

 

Regional Economic Integration

Beyond the conflict, the Ambassador highlighted a surge in bilateral cooperation between Tehran and Islamabad. He noted that Pakistan is actively seeking to diversify its transit trade routes, viewing Iran as the ideal gateway to reach markets in the Caucasus and Central Asia. Specifically, the border crossings at Mirjaveh-Taftan and Gabd-Rimdan were identified as vital hubs for this expanding regional trade.

 

U.S. Response and Ongoing Exchanges

The submission of the proposal follows reports that Islamabad delivered Iran’s “revised response” to U.S. conditions to American officials.

 

While the Iranian side maintains that the 14-point plan offers a clear path to ending hostilities, U.S. President Donald Trump expressed skepticism via social media. On Saturday, the President indicated he would review the document soon, but added that he could not imagine it being acceptable.
