Iran Reaffirms Seven-Point Peace Proposal Despite New U.S. Strikes
Iranian officials said their seven-point proposal to end hostilities remained unchanged despite the latest U. S. air strikes, and diplomatic talks continued. Earlier, a senior Iranian official said Tehran had forwarded a nuclear proposal to Washington through Qatar, linking any U. S. response to the fulfillment of seven Iranian demands.
Qatar’s emir later outlined a mediation plan that would lift the naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, unfreeze Iranian assets and allow IAEA inspections of damaged nuclear sites in exchange for reopening the waterway. A senior UAE official expressed cautious optimism about the Qatar-mediated talks, while the United States announced a new task force to enforce its blockade. President Donald Trump subsequently scheduled a meeting in Washington with Qatar’s prime minister and U. S. Vice President JD Vance, though senior officials said Iran’s two-day peace plan was unlikely to produce an immediate settlement.
