After the United States and Iran presented their responses to the proposal by Pakistan and Qatar to resume negotiations, a source told Al-Hadath TV that Iran had informed Pakistani officials that it had not withdrawn from the negotiations but had merely suspended them.

Tehran also confirmed its readiness to continue the dialogue in accordance with the memorandum of understanding signed between Washington and Tehran.

Iran expressed its willingness to resume negotiations from the point at which they were interrupted, noting that it had confirmed its readiness to continue talks in Geneva, Doha, or Islamabad.

Iran also informed the Pakistani side of its rejection of the creation of a new corridor in the Strait of Hormuz, reaffirming its position regarding navigation through this vital waterway.

The source explained that Iran is demanding the resumption of negotiations first on the issue of the Strait of Hormuz, then on frozen funds, and after that on the nuclear issue.

Two sources familiar with the course of the mediation efforts said that Qatar, Egypt, Pakistan, and other regional mediators had presented the United States and Iran with a new proposal for a ten-day ceasefire.

The proposal includes two important conditions: a cessation of hostilities and the restoration of access to the Strait of Hormuz for global shipping.

The proposal also provides for the full resumption of traffic along two shipping routes in the Strait of Hormuz, so that the southern route through Omani waters would be free from Iranian attacks, and the northern route through Iranian waters from the American naval blockade.

The goal of the ten-day ceasefire is to make it possible to work out a solution to the crisis related to shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, which is the main issue that led to the collapse of the memorandum of understanding.

Sources said that the mediators are trying to build on a proposal that was previously discussed between the Sultanate of Oman, Iran, and Qatar in Oman's capital, Muscat, on July 11, when the United States demanded that Iran publicly confirm its commitment to keeping the Strait of Hormuz open.
