Iran briefs diplomats on fresh proposal to end tensions with US, Israel​

Iran briefs diplomats on a new proposal to end tensions with the US and Israel, signaling a push for negotiations via Pakistan mediation.

"The proposal is intended to bring a 'permanent end' to what Iran describes as imposed hostilities - Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi"

Tehran, May 3

Iran has outlined a new diplomatic proposal aimed at ending its ongoing confrontation with the United States and Israel, as senior officials briefed foreign envoys in Tehran on Saturday, signalling a renewed push for negotiations while maintaining a firm security posture.​

Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs Kazem Gharibabadi met ambassadors and representatives from several countries to explain Tehran's latest initiative. ​

According to Iranian officials, the proposal has been conveyed through Pakistan, which is acting as a mediator in indirect talks between Tehran and Washington.​

During the briefing, Gharibabadi emphasised that Iran continues to prioritise diplomacy grounded in national interests, but remains fully prepared to respond decisively to any military escalation. ​

He indicated that the proposal is intended to bring a "permanent end" to what Iran describes as imposed hostilities, while placing the onus on the United States to choose between dialogue and continued confrontation.​

Iran's position reflects a dual-track approach, keeping diplomatic channels open while underscoring its readiness to defend its sovereignty.

Officials reiterated longstanding mistrust of Washington, citing past breakdowns in negotiations and what Tehran views as inconsistent commitments during earlier diplomatic engagements.​

The latest move follows a brief ceasefire announced on April 7, which temporarily reduced hostilities between Iran and US-backed forces in the region. ​

Subsequently, indirect talks were held in Islamabad on April 11 under Pakistan's facilitation, though those discussions ended without a breakthrough.​

Diplomatic activity has since intensified. Earlier this week, envoys from China and Russia met with Iranian officials to discuss the updated proposal, signaling broader international interest in de-escalation efforts. Both countries have previously called for restraint and a negotiated resolution to rising tensions in West Asia.​

While details of the proposal have not been made public, analysts suggest it may include security assurances, phased de-escalation measures, and mechanisms to prevent further military incidents.

However, significant gaps remain between the parties, particularly on regional influence, sanctions, and security guarantees.​

The coming days are expected to be crucial in determining whether the proposal gains traction or whether the current fragile calm gives way to renewed tensions.

The dual-track approach sounds like classic diplomacy - talk while preparing for worst-case scenarios. But honestly, after the US pulling out of the JCPOA earlier, how can Iran trust any American guarantees? They need to be very careful with any deal they sign. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice... 🇮🇳

As someone who works in the oil sector, I'll say this: any de-escalation in the Gulf means lower crude prices for us. India imports most of its oil, so this is actually very important for our economy. But I'm skeptical - Iran has made proposals before and nothing changed. Let's see if this time is different.

I appreciate that Iran is trying diplomacy, but using Pakistan as a mediator raises eyebrows. Pakistan has its own agenda in the region, especially regarding Kashmir and its ties with terrorist groups. India should be more proactive in these talks if they affect our neighborhood. Why isn't New Delhi at the table?

The mention of China and Russia being involved is crucial. They're clearly trying to counterbalance US influence in the region. For India, this is a delicate balance - we have strategic ties with Israel and the US, but also need Iranian oil and don't want instability at our doorstep. Our foreign policy needs to be very nuanced here. 🤔

A permanent end to hostilities? That's a tall order given the decades of mistrust.
