He added that progress in the talks hinges on a shift in Washington\u2019s approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His remarks came a day after US President Donald Trump expressed doubts over the prospects of a new Iranian peace proposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Iran\u2019s Tasnim and Fars news agencies, Tehran submitted a 14-point proposal to mediator Islamabad on Saturday. The proposal reportedly includes measures to end the conflict on all fronts and introduce a new framework governing the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ambassador Moghadam confirmed these developments, stating that Iran had conveyed a fresh negotiation plan to Washington through Pakistan. He described Islamabad\u2019s role in the process as \u201cvaluable\u201d and pivotal to ongoing diplomatic efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The envoy maintained that Tehran has remained \u201ctransparent in its position and demands,\u201d stressing that meaningful progress would only be possible if the United States changes its behaviour. He also reiterated that Iran would not compromise on its national interests or defence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Talks between Iran and the US have been stalled since the April 8 ceasefire. A previous round of negotiations held in Islamabad failed to resolve the conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pakistan played a key role in brokering the ceasefire following a six-week conflict that began on February 28, when US and Israeli forces launched joint attacks on Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The conflict significantly disrupted the global economy, particularly after Iran shut down the Strait of Hormuz, a critical route for global energy shipments. Although Tehran briefly reopened the passage for commercial traffic, it later closed it again, citing US ceasefire violations and the ongoing naval blockade of its ports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Ambassador Moghadam said the international community was closely observing Iran\u2019s \u201cclear and logical stance,\u201d while criticising what he described as inconsistency in US policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reaffirming Tehran\u2019s commitment to diplomacy, he said Washington must abandon its \u201caggressive posture\u201d and respect Iran\u2019s rights for negotiations to move forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also highlighted strengthening political, economic, and trade relations between Pakistan and Iran, noting that border crossings between the two countries remain vital for bilateral trade and regional connectivity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISLAMABAD: Iranian Ambassador to Pakistan Reza Amiri Moghadam on Sunday reaffirmed that Islamabad continues to play a central mediating role in Iran\u2019s negotiations with the United States. \u201cPakistan remains a&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3727,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[57,165,254],"class_list":["post-3726","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pakistan","tag-iran","tag-middle-east-tensions","tag-united-states"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
