Diplomatic development: Iran responds to the US proposal to end the fighting

During the day of May 10, 2026, it was reported that Iran delivered its official response to the American ceasefire proposal via Pakistani mediation. According to TRT Haber, Iran confirmed that the negotiations are focused on ending the war in the region. The Iranian news agency IRNA, as cited by Sputnik Türkiye, noted that the draft was handed over to the Pakistani mediator, a fact also confirmed by İhlas Haber Ajansı and GündemX.

In reports associated with Sondakika Haber Gündem and Sansürsüz Medya +18, Iran's core demands within the delivered response were detailed: a demand for the lifting of the American blockade, an immediate end to the fighting, the gradual opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and an agreement to reduce uranium stockpiles while transferring them to a third country with guarantees for their return if the agreement is violated. However, Tehran emphasizes that it will not agree to the closure of its nuclear facilities.

Simultaneous to the contacts, diplomatic and military activity continues in the arena. Haber Gündem reported that Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan held a phone call with his Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi to discuss the state of the fighting. In addition, reports emerged regarding the turning of the Caspian Sea into a strategic "lifeline" for Iran and Russia for food trade and military transport, as part of efforts to bypass tensions in the Strait of Hormuz.

On the regional level, İLKHA highlighted Iran's warning toward countries that comply with American sanctions in the straits region, which indicates that geopolitical tensions remain high even while diplomatic contacts are taking place.
