Negotiations between Iran and the United States remain uncertain after reports claimed Washington refused major Iranian demands regarding sanctions and frozen assets. Pakistan and regional countries continue diplomatic efforts to prevent renewed conflict.
The ongoing diplomatic tension between Iran and the United States appears to be reaching a new deadlock, while the two countries continue to have negotiating differences despite the cease-fire. According to Iranian media, recent proposals from Washington have ignored Tehran’s basic demands, making progress in the talks difficult.
According to the Iranian news agency Fars, the United States has presented Iran with five-point proposals, which demand that Iran keep only one nuclear facility active while handing over the rest of its enriched uranium to the United States. According to the report, Washington has not given any clear assurances regarding the full recovery of Iran’s frozen assets or compensation for war losses.
Iranian officials say that the US is still pursuing a policy of pressure and wants to achieve goals that could not be achieved during the war through negotiations. According to Iranian media, Tehran has made it clear that the ceasefire can only be sustainable if tensions are resolved on all fronts, including Israeli operations in Lebanon and the naval embargo imposed on Iran.
In its proposals, Iran has called on the US to lift all economic sanctions, restore frozen Iranian assets abroad and reduce military pressure in the region. According to the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Tehran will not compromise on its sovereignty and national security.
On the other hand, US President Donald Trump has once again warned Iran that “time is running out” and Tehran will have to make quick decisions. The US president has also claimed in the past that the ceasefire was possible as a result of Pakistan’s efforts.
The situation in the Strait of Hormuz has also become the center of global attention due to the increasing tension in the region. Iran has indicated that it will maintain its control over this important maritime passage. According to experts, if the tension in the Strait of Hormuz increases, a severe crisis may arise in the global oil markets.
Meanwhile, several regional countries, including Pakistan, Qatar and Egypt, are engaged in diplomatic efforts to continue the negotiation process between Iran and the United States. Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar are constantly in touch with regional leadership to maintain peace in the Middle East.
Qatar has also expressed concern over the risks of the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, saying that it is important to maintain the freedom of international shipping routes. The Qatari leadership warned that using this route as a weapon of pressure could further intensify the crisis.
Analysts say that the current negotiations between Iran and the United States have entered a very sensitive stage. If both sides do not show flexibility, the ceasefire may be in danger. According to experts, mediation by countries like Pakistan could play an important role in the future, as peace in the region is considered essential for global economic stability.
