The proposal is part of a broader diplomatic push coordinated by Qatar, whose mediators arrived in Tehran on Sunday to facilitate talks between the two nations. The current mediation focuses on a limited trade-off where Iran would halt maritime attacks in exchange for the lifting of U.S. blockades. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei stated that while diplomacy continues through intermediaries, the U.S. has persisted in demands for what he termed “complete surrender,” which Iran rejects.
