Sources reveal details of Iran’s three-phase proposal: Al Jazeera

• Tehran's proposal aims for a permanent end to the war within 30 days.
• The plan includes a mutual non-aggression pact, alongside the phased reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
• Iran offers a 15-year total enrichment freeze in exchange for a clear mechanism to lift sanctions and release frozen assets.

The roadmap seeks to transform the fragile ceasefire into a permanent end to hostilities through a series of unprecedented security and nuclear concessions, sources provided Al Jazeera.

Phase one: Ending the war and reopening the Gulf

The first stage of the proposal aims to finalize a complete cessation of the war within a minimum of 30 days. Central to this phase is the establishment of an international oversight authority to guarantee that none of the parties return to military operations.

Phase one includes:

Mutual non-aggression pact: A formal commitment between the US and Iran to cease hostilities, which explicitly extends to 'Israel' and Iran’s regional allies.
Reopening the Strait of Hormuz: Iran proposes a gradual reopening of the strategic waterway. Tehran would take responsibility for clearing naval mines, with the possibility of receiving US technical support.
Lifting the Blockade: A phased lifting of the blockade on Iranian ports would occur in tandem with the reopening of the Strait.
Military De-escalation: The withdrawal of US forces from the waters surrounding Iran and an end to the current military mobilization.
Compensation: An "innovative and new formula" for war reparations to address the economic damage caused by the conflict.

Phase two: deep nuclear freezes

The second phase addresses the core of the international standoff: Iran’s nuclear program. Sources indicate that Tehran is offering a total freeze on all uranium enrichment for a period of up to 15 years.

Key nuclear provisions include:

Long-term caps: Following the freeze period, Iran would return to enrichment at a maximum level of 3.6% under a "zero-stockpile" principle.
Infrastructure preservation: The proposal strictly rejects the dismantling of nuclear infrastructure or the destruction of facilities.
High-enriched stockpile: Negotiators are currently discussing whether Iran’s existing high-enriched uranium will be shipped abroad or diluted to lower percentages.

Phase Three: Sanctions relief and economic reintegration

The final phase emphasizes a "clear mechanism" for lifting international sanctions in exchange for Iran’s nuclear compliance. This includes the phased release of frozen Iranian assets according to a strictly defined timeline.

By offering a 15-year enrichment freeze and a mutual non-aggression pact that includes 'Israel', Tehran appears to be signaling a desire for a fundamental reset of its relationship with the West. However, the rejection of infrastructure dismantling remains a potential sticking point for Washington, which has previously demanded the permanent removal of Iran’s breakout capability.

The proposal is currently being reviewed by the US administration and regional stakeholders as mediators from Pakistan and Qatar push for a finalized agreement to prevent a return to full-scale kinetic warfare.
