THE NEW YORK TIMES: As President Trump’s deadline for new attacks loomed, Iran conveyed its conditions through Pakistani intermediaries.
Iran on Monday delivered a 10-point proposal to end its war with the United States and Israel, according to Iranian state media. The plan was conveyed by Pakistan, which has been acting as a primary intermediary in the conflict, but appeared unlikely to resolve major questions ahead of President Trump’s Tuesday evening deadline for new attacks on Iran.
Two senior Iranian officials, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive negotiations, said the proposal included a guarantee that Iran would not be attacked again, an end to Israeli strikes against Hezbollah in Lebanon and the lifting of all sanctions.
In return, Iran would lift its de facto blockade of the key shipping route through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran would also impose a fee of roughly $2 million per ship that it would split with Oman, which sits across the strait. Iran would use its share of the proceeds to reconstruct infrastructure destroyed by American and Israeli attacks, rather than demand direct compensation, according to the plan. » | Max Bearak, Farnaz Fassihi, Shirin Hakim and Erika Solomon | Monday, April 6, 2026
