Iran gives the US two days to respond

Iran has presented the United States with a proposal to return to negotiations within two days.

TodayPress TV reports, citing Reuters, that Tehran is demanding that Washington first halt military operations, lift its naval blockade and remove sanctions.

According to Axios, the draft proposal, prepared with Qatar’s mediation, envisages the following steps:

Day one: The United States must lift its naval blockade of Iran and release some of the frozen funds. In return, Iran must agree to allow inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to visit its nuclear facilities.

Day two: The Strait of Hormuz must be reopened, after which negotiations on Iran’s nuclear programme should resume.
