The US has delivered a proposed diplomatic deal to Tehran offering to lift maritime blockades and economic sanctions. In exchange, Iran must reopen the Strait of Hormuz, guarantee freedom of navigation, and stop attacks by its regional proxy networks.
Pakistan’s Army Chief Asim Munir personally delivered the proposal to Iranian officials during a high-level diplomatic visit to Tehran, following a preparatory phone call with US President Donald Trump.
