Iran delivered a new proposal for peace talks with the United States via mediator Pakistan, state media reported on Friday, May 1, 2026. The text of the proposal was handed to Islamabad, according to the report, which cited an unnamed official. Negotiations between the two sides have been frozen despite a week-long ceasefire.
The offer comes amid stalled US-Iran talks, with no official confirmation from Washington or Tehran beyond the state media report. Pakistan has previously acted as a mediator between the two countries, though details of the current proposal remain undisclosed.
Analysts note that the ceasefire, which began in late April, has held but not led to broader diplomatic progress. The new proposal is seen as a potential step to restart negotiations, though no timeline for a response has been announced.
