Iran's new proposal, which focuses on ending the war by deferring the nuclear issue, has shifted the balance in negotiations with the US. The proposal, which includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz and lifting the blockade, was deemed insufficient by Washington. Following the deadlock in the process, US President Donald Trump decided to hold a critical meeting with his security team. As tensions between the parties continue, new steps are being awaited with curiosity.
Iran's new proposal, which focuses on ending the war by pushing the nuclear file into the background, has triggered a critical process in the US. After the proposal was deemed insufficient, attention turned to Trump's meeting with his security team.
IRAN'S "RAPID DEAL" MOVE
It has been alleged that Iran proposed temporarily putting the nuclear issue aside to accelerate the process in negotiations with the US. The proposal is said to aim at creating a ground for a swift agreement to end the conflict.
STRAIT OF HORMUZ AND END OF WAR PRIORITIZED
According to US officials and diplomatic sources, the Tehran administration prioritized the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and ending the war in its proposal to Washington. This step is seen as a move to lower tensions in the region.
"RAPID DEAL" STRATEGY
Iran's proposal envisions addressing nuclear issues at a later stage. This approach is intended to allow the parties to first reach a framework agreement that ends the conflict.
DIVERGENCE OF OPINION IN TEHRAN
It is noted that there are differing views within the Iranian administration on which concessions to make regarding the nuclear program, and thus the temporary postponement of the nuclear file also aims to preserve internal balances.
RISK FOR THE US: LEVERAGE MAY WEAKEN
According to analyses, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the end of the war could weaken US strategic pressure on Iran. It is assessed that Washington's bargaining power, especially on issues like limiting nuclear activities, could diminish.
TRUMP'S CRITICAL MEETING DECISION
US President Donald Trump has been reported to hold a critical meeting with his top security team to evaluate the ongoing war with Iran and the stalled negotiation process.
According to reports in the US press, Trump will meet with his national security and foreign policy advisors to discuss the next steps. The meeting takes place at a time when negotiations between the parties have hit an impasse.
NEGOTIATIONS STALLED
Iranian foreign ministry officials blamed Washington for the failure of the first talks aimed at ending the war, held in Pakistan this month. No new round of negotiations has been planned between the parties yet.
NEW PROPOSAL FROM IRAN BUT DEEMED INSUFFICIENT
According to US officials, the new proposal submitted by Tehran did not meet Washington's "red lines." The proposal reportedly includes the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the lifting of the US naval blockade, but leaves nuclear negotiations to a later stage. This approach is said to have been deemed insufficient by the US, which expects more comprehensive concessions for an agreement.
CRITICAL DECISION STAGE
The White House meeting is considered critical for determining a new roadmap for US policy towards Iran. Experts point out that a process that will clarify between diplomatic and military options may begin in the coming days.
