Iran and the United States have received a draft proposal that calls for a 45-day ceasefire and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to find a way to end the war, two Mideast officials told.
Iran and US receive 45-Day Ceasefire Proposal
The proposal comes from mediators in Egypt, Pakistan, and Turkey who are trying to stop the fighting. The officials believe the 45-day period would give enough time for talks between the countries to achieve a lasting ceasefire.
Iran and the US not responded to the proposal, which was sent late Sunday night to Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and US Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff, according to the officials.
Proposal Sent to Key Officials
The officials requested anonymity to discuss the private negotiations. It is still unclear if both sides would agree to these terms. Iran has said it continue fighting until it receives financial reparations and a guarantee that it not attacked again. US President Donald Trump has threatened to bomb Iranian bridges and power stations this week.
