TLDR

  • Iran has submitted its response to the United States' latest peace proposal through Pakistan, the designated mediator.
  • The Iranian response reportedly focuses on ending the conflict in the region as a first phase of negotiations.
  • This exchange follows a previous 14-point proposal by Iran and a U.S. threat to resume operations in the Strait of Hormuz if no understanding is reached.

In a significant diplomatic development, Iran has formally conveyed its response to the United States' most recent proposal aimed at achieving a definitive end to the ongoing war. The crucial communication was channeled through Pakistan, acting as the intermediary in this sensitive negotiation process, as reported by Iran's state news agency IRNA.

la respuesta de la República Islámica fue enviada hoy al mediador paquistaní y que propone centrar la primera fase de las negociaciones en el fin del conflicto en la región, sin ofrecer mayores detalles.

The Islamic Republic's reply, according to state media, prioritizes the cessation of hostilities in the region as the initial objective for the upcoming talks. While details remain scarce, this focus suggests Iran's strategic intent to address immediate regional stability before delving into more complex issues.

This move comes after a period of intense diplomatic activity, including Iran's submission of a 14-point peace plan the previous week. The U.S. President had previously expressed expectations for Iran's response, linking it to potential U.S. actions, such as reactivating "Operation Freedom's Sentinel" to ensure safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz should an agreement not materialize.

Teherán había insistido anteriormente en que las negociaciones deben centrarse, en una primera fase, en un acuerdo de paz y el fin del bloqueo en el estrecho de Ormuz, aplazando cualquier conversación sobre su programa nuclear para una etapa posterior.

Both Iran and the U.S. had previously agreed to a ceasefire on April 8, following 39 days of conflict. High-level meetings in Islamabad in mid-April, however, failed to yield a consensus to resume broader negotiations. Despite these setbacks, the continued exchange of messages and proposals indicates a persistent, albeit complex, diplomatic track aimed at de-escalating the conflict and seeking a path towards peace.

si no hay entendimiento con ese país, volverá a reactivar la operación Proyecto Libertad para escoltar a los buques atrapados en el estrecho de Ormuz por las restricciones impuestas por la República Islámica.
