Iran's final offer on the war and the nuclear program made to Pakistani mediators

Iran proposes two-track peace deal while Trump weighs new round of strikes

Iran has submitted a sweeping two-track peace proposal to Washington through regional mediators, according to a senior Iranian official speaking to Drop Site News, as US President Donald Trump reportedly considers launching fresh military strikes as early as this weekend. The diplomatic gambit attempts to decouple immediate wartime cessation from long-term atomic disputes.

Under Track 1, Iran demands a formal declaration ending the war, the lifting of the US naval blockade on its ports, and the release of frozen assets, offering in return to provisionally reopen the Strait of Hormuz to maritime traffic while a new regional governance regime is finalized. Tehran is also demanding a multilateral compensation mechanism to fund domestic war damages and a total cessation of Israeli attacks in Lebanon.

The nuclear leverage is reserved entirely for Track 2, which would only commence after a formal end to hostilities. According to the Drop Site News report, Iran has offered major nuclear concessions, including a 10-year suspension of uranium enrichment above 3.6 percent, the supervised internal dilution of its 20 percent enriched stockpiles, and a binding commitment against developing nuclear weapons.

In exchange, the Islamic Republic expects full sanctions relief and the explicit recognition of its limited rights to enrich uranium under a future agreement. However, negotiations remain severely bottlenecked by the Trump administration’s insistence that a war-ending truce and a comprehensive nuclear deal be finalized simultaneously, alongside a rigid US demand that Iran completely forfeit all enriched uranium.

While diplomacy hangs in the balance, Iranian officials have made it clear they are prepared for a catastrophic regional escalation if Trump opts to restart the air campaign. In tandem with hardline warnings from chief negotiator Mohammad Ghalibaf—who stated on social media that Iran's armed forces have thoroughly rebuilt their capabilities during the six-week ceasefire and will deliver a response "more crushing and bitter" than the first day of the war.

Iran's chief negotiator vows crushing response if Trump resumes war

Iran has explicitly warned the US of a devastating retaliation if President Donald Trump aborts the current truce and resumes military operations against the Islamic Republic. The declaration came from Iran's chief negotiator, Mohammad Ghalibaf, who announced on social media on Saturday that the country's armed forces have comprehensively rebuilt their capabilities over the course of the six-week-long ceasefire.

Warning of the consequences of renewed hostilities, Ghalibaf stated on X (formerly Twitter), "Our armed forces have rebuilt themselves during the ceasefire period in such a way that if Trump commits another act of folly and restarts the war, it will certainly be more crushing and bitter for the United States than on the first day of the war."

According to a report by The Straits Times, the  warning directly follows a pivotal meeting in Tehran between Ghalibaf and Pakistan's army chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, who is spearheading regional mediation efforts to conclude the war. Munir, who landed in the capital on Friday, engaged in marathon, late-night legal sessions with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and held a high-level audience with President Masoud Pezeshkian on Saturday to review proposed frameworks aimed at keeping the 8 April ceasefire from completely fracturing under recent US threats.

The regional diplomatic push has extended well beyond Pakistan's mediation track, as documented by the state news agency IRNA, which confirmed that Araghchi has held rapid-fire consultations with regional counterparts in Turkiye, Iraq, Qatar, and traditional backchannel facilitator Oman. Iranian leadership continues to accuse the White House of leveraging excessive demands during the talks.

Iran demands Gulf states pay full reparations for facilitating US-Israeli aggression

Iran has launched a major diplomatic offensive at the United Nations, demanding that neighboring Gulf states pay full reparations for their role in facilitating the devastating military campaign against the country. In a formal letter to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and the Security Council, Iranian UN Ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani declared that several regional governments bear strict international responsibility for aiding foreign aggression. The high-stakes move targets the strategic crossroad states that have long hosted American military infrastructure during the conflict.

The Iranian document explicitly names Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Jordan, accusing them of actively participating in or enabling hostile operations against the Islamic Republic. Iravani argued that under established international law, these nations are legally obligated to provide comprehensive compensation for both material and moral damages suffered by Iran.

This diplomatic maneuver comes as Iran firmly rejects recent statements by US officials and dismisses counterclaims from nations on the southern side of the Persian Gulf as entirely baseless. By taking this battle to the UN Security Council, Iran is signaling that the fragile ceasefire will not grant immunity to the regional monarchies that opened their airspace and bases to US forces.
