The escalating crisis between Iran and the United States has witnessed intense diplomatic movements in recent hours, in an attempt to reach an agreement that will stop the military confrontation and spare the region from further escalation.
Media reports, citing Reuters, revealed the terms of an initial proposal to stop the war, which includes Tehran’s commitment not to seek to possess nuclear weapons, in exchange for easing the sanctions imposed on it, in addition to the release of Iranian assets frozen abroad. The proposal also includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz, ensuring the stability of global navigation and energy supplies.
In the same context, Axios reported that diplomatic efforts are currently focused on reaching a temporary truce for a period of 45 days, in preparation for entering into broader negotiations on a final agreement to end the war.

According to the sources, the proposed proposal consists of two stages, the first of which begins with a temporary ceasefire, followed by the opening of direct and indirect negotiation channels between the two parties to reach a comprehensive settlement.
Several countries also play a mediating role in these efforts, most notably Egypt, Pakistan, and Turkey, as these parties are intensifying their contacts with both sides to advance the path of calm.
In this context, the Pakistani Army Commander held contacts with prominent officials, including the US Vice President and envoys concerned with the file, in addition to the Iranian Foreign Minister, in an attempt to bring views closer and support the proposed initiative.
These movements indicate that there is a real opportunity – albeit time-limited – to contain the escalation, in light of a growing international awareness of the danger of continued confrontation to the security and stability of the region and the world.
