Iran has reportedly introduced a new diplomatic proposal that links the reopening of Hormuz to a phased negotiation process with the United States. The move comes at a time of rising tensions in the Gulf region and ongoing concerns over global energy routes.
According to officials, the proposal suggests reopening Hormuz first to ease immediate tensions. Nuclear talks would follow later in a structured, step-by-step process. This approach marks a shift from previous demands where nuclear negotiations were treated as a priority.
The development comes as Abbas Araghchi recently visited Pakistan. During the visit, Iran conveyed its position through diplomatic channels. The focus, for now, is on stabilizing the Gulf region and ensuring safe maritime movement.
At the same time, Iran is also engaged in discussions with Oman. These talks are centered on maritime security and cooperation. Officials say the goal is to guarantee safe passage through the strategic waterway.
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most important shipping routes. A large portion of global oil and gas supplies passes through it. Any disruption can impact international markets and energy prices.
Iran’s proposal also includes the possibility of reducing hostilities as part of the phased plan. However, experts believe this sequencing may complicate the position of the United States. Washington has been pushing for immediate nuclear discussions and stricter limits on Iran’s uranium enrichment activities.
Analysts say delaying nuclear talks could weaken US leverage in negotiations. At the same time, reopening Hormuz could help calm global markets and reduce economic pressure on multiple countries.
Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi described the ongoing discussions as constructive. He emphasized that regional stability is a shared responsibility. He also stressed the importance of keeping key shipping routes open and secure.
Iran continues to use indirect communication channels with the United States through mediators. At the same time, it is actively engaging regional partners to build support for its proposal.
