Iran has conveyed a detailed 10-point proposal through Pakistan aimed at ending the ongoing conflict, according to reports from multiple international and regional media outlets, including The New York Times, IRNA, and other sources. The plan reflects Tehran’s position that any settlement must be comprehensive and permanent rather than a temporary ceasefire.
At the core of the proposal, Iran is seeking binding security guarantees that it will not face future attacks from the United States or Israel. Tehran has also called for a permanent end to hostilities, rejecting interim ceasefires in favour of a long-term resolution. The framework further demands an immediate halt to Israeli military strikes, including operations targeting Hezbollah in Lebanon and other Iran-aligned groups, as well as the cessation of broader regional hostilities involving Iranian partners across the Middle East.
The proposal additionally includes major political and economic conditions, most notably the full lifting of all international sanctions imposed on Iran by the United States and other countries. It also calls for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz under a structured and regulated framework, alongside the introduction of a transit fee of approximately $2 million per vessel. Iran has further proposed revenue sharing of these fees with Oman, which borders the strategic waterway, and the establishment of formal rules and protocols to ensure safe maritime passage.
In terms of post-conflict arrangements, Tehran has emphasized support for reconstruction efforts, indicating that revenues generated from Hormuz transit fees would contribute to rebuilding infrastructure affected by the conflict rather than direct war compensation. The proposal also highlights Iran’s insistence on sovereignty over maritime operations in the strait while linking its cooperation to a broader negotiated settlement.
Iran reportedly rejected alternative ceasefire frameworks, including interim proposals from the United States and Pakistan, maintaining that only a permanent and mutually binding agreement would be acceptable. The initiative, delivered via Pakistan’s mediation channels, underscores Islamabad’s emerging role as a diplomatic intermediary as international actors continue efforts to de-escalate tensions and stabilize the region.
