Iranian media outlets said on Monday that Tehran has submitted its final 14-point response to the Pakistani mediator, who will present it to the US side.
Iran’s Tasnim News Agency reported that the US side had recently sent a text responding to Iran’s previous 14-point proposal. Iran’s new text is focused on the subject of “negotiations to end the war and confidence-building measures by the American side”, Tasmin said, quoting a source close to the Iranian negotiating team.
The agency added that the United States has agreed to waive Iran’s oil sanctions during the negotiation period. It reported, “unlike its previous texts, the United States has accepted in its new proposal to waive Iran’s oil sanctions during the negotiation period.”
Similarly, Iran’s top security body announced on Monday the formation of a new body to manage the Strait of Hormuz, which Tehran has effectively closed and wants to charge ships to traverse.
On its official X account, the Supreme National Security Council shared a post for the Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PGSA) saying it would provide “real‑time updates on the #Hormuz_Strait operations and latest developments.” The same post was also shared by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy.
Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said Tehran is working on new mechanisms for crossing the Strait of Hormuz, adding, “Communication is ongoing with Oman regarding the transit mechanism.”
During a press conference on Monday, he said, “The United States and Israel are the threats to the region, and we have no enmity with our neighboring countries.” He added, “We are neighbors to everyone, and we urge everyone to be wary of the conspiracies of foreign parties aimed at inciting discord.”
Addressing the countries of the region, he said, “They have seen that America‘s presence does not bring security, but rather causes insecurity for everyone and jeopardizes development and prosperity.” He emphasized that regional security requires building trust among the countries of the region and working on an internal security mechanism.
He added, “Talks with the United States are ongoing through Pakistani mediation,” noting that media reports and speculations regarding uranium enrichment are neither new nor baseless. (AFP/EIR)
