Iran has sent a revised peace proposal to the United States consisting of 14 articles, according to reporting by the semi-official Tasnim News Agency. The proposal was transmitted through Pakistan, which has been serving as a diplomatic intermediary between Tehran and Washington. Sources close to Iran's negotiation team confirmed the development, which signals a renewed effort by Tehran to find a diplomatic resolution to the ongoing conflict.
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson addressed the matter at a press conference on Sunday, offering further confirmation that a new set of terms had been formally relayed. While the specific contents of the 14 provisions have not been publicly disclosed in full, the very act of submitting a revised document suggests that Iran is responding to earlier points of contention raised by the American side during previous rounds of indirect negotiations.
Pakistan's role as mediator has become increasingly significant in this diplomatic process. Islamabad has maintained working relationships with both Tehran and Washington, positioning itself as a credible channel for sensitive communications. The transmission of the proposal through Pakistani diplomatic channels underscores the absence of direct talks between Iran and the United States and the importance of trusted intermediaries in de-escalation efforts.
The revised proposal arrives at a moment of heightened pressure, following President Trump's recent warning that "the clock is ticking" and reports of a planned Situation Room meeting to discuss next steps. The 14-point framework appears to be Tehran's attempt to present a more comprehensive and structured response to American demands, moving beyond the earlier proposals that Washington had dismissed.
Whether this latest diplomatic overture will gain traction remains to be seen. Previous Iranian proposals were rejected by the Trump administration, which has signaled willingness to consider military options if negotiations do not yield acceptable terms. The coming days are likely to be decisive in determining whether the 14-point plan opens a path toward a ceasefire or becomes another point of contention in an already fraught negotiation process.
