United States/Iran - Ekhbary News Agency
Tehran Submits New Proposal Amid Ongoing Tensions
In a significant diplomatic development, informed sources have disclosed that Tehran has put forward a new negotiation proposal in an attempt to break the existing stalemate in relations with Washington. The Axios news site reported that White House envoy Steve Lighthizer conveyed a list of US amendments to Iran, facilitated by Pakistani intermediaries. These amendments primarily focused on re-integrating the Iranian nuclear file into the framework of any potential future agreement between the two countries.
Cautious US Reaction and Trump's Expressed Dissatisfaction
Despite this move, US reactions have not been entirely positive. Reports quoted US President Donald Trump stating, "I am not satisfied with what has been proposed," reflecting a US reservation regarding the Iranian proposal or the nature of the amendments presented. This statement adds further pressure to the diplomatic efforts aimed at de-escalating tensions between the two nations.

Nuclear File Remains Central to Negotiations
The focus of the US amendments on the nuclear file indicates that this issue remains the cornerstone of any future talks. Washington appears to be seeking assurances that Iran will not possess nuclear weapons, which was a primary reason for imposing stringent economic sanctions on the country.
Pakistani Mediators Play Pivotal Role
The role of Pakistani mediators in these negotiations emerges as an important factor, given the ties Islamabad maintains with both Tehran and Washington. This indirect diplomatic channel is seen as a way to avoid direct escalation and maintain open lines of communication.

Future of Negotiations Hinges on Mutual Flexibility
The future of the negotiations remains contingent on the ability of both parties to demonstrate the necessary flexibility and reach common ground.

Analysts anticipate that this process will be lengthy and subject to further fluctuations.
