Washington, DC [US], April 29 (ANI): In a significant diplomatic manoeuvre aimed at de-escalating tensions in the Middle East, Iran has submitted a fresh proposal to regional intermediaries offering to cease its military operations in the Strait of Hormuz.
According to a report by The Wall Street Journal, the deal is contingent upon a complete cessation of hostilities and the removal of the US blockade currently stifling Iranian maritime hubs.
The strategic overture, delivered by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, seeks to dismantle the current geopolitical stalemate and revitalise stalled negotiations.
Sources familiar with the matter indicated that the framework would essentially see "discussions about Iran's nuclear program shelved." While the proposal gains traction, Iran's mission to the United Nations has yet to offer an official statement.

The diplomatic push was further highlighted on Monday when Araghchi held talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
During the meeting, the Russian leader lauded the Islamic Republic's perseverance against the military efforts of the US and Israel, while committing Moscow's diplomatic support to find a resolution.
In Washington, The Wall Street Journal reports that the administration is actively weighing the offer, with White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirming that President Trump reviewed the Iranian framework with his national security advisers.
