Iranian proposal includes “three main phases” to end the war, freeze enrichment, and build a regional security system

Al Jazeera, citing special sources, reported that it had obtained details of a proposed framework agreement submitted by Iran to the United States, outlining a three-phase vision for addressing security, nuclear, and regional issues.

The sources told Al Jazeera that “the Iranian agreement proposal includes three main phases:

The first phase aims to turn the ceasefire into a complete end to the war within a minimum of 30 days. It proposes the establishment of an international reference mechanism to guarantee that the war does not resume, along with a mutual Iranian-American commitment to non-aggression and to ending the war across the entire region. It also includes the gradual reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, with Iran taking responsibility for dealing with mines without objecting to possible American support, in addition to revising the compensation clause under a new formula, the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iran’s surrounding maritime area, and an end to the state of military mobilization.

The second phase discusses a complete freeze on uranium enrichment operations for a time frame that could reach 15 years, after which Iran would resume enrichment at 3.6% under a zero-stockpile principle. The proposal rejects dismantling nuclear infrastructure or destroying facilities, while the fate of the stockpile of highly enriched uranium would be considered between two options: transfer abroad or dilution of the enrichment level. It stresses the need for a clear mechanism for lifting sanctions in exchange for nuclear measures, along with the gradual release of frozen funds according to a set timeline.

In the third and final phase, Tehran proposes entering into a strategic dialogue with the Arab and regional surroundings to build a security system encompassing the entire region.”
