The proposal, which has already been conveyed to Washington through mediators, calls for renewed talks aimed at reaching a permanent end to hostilities between the two countries, the official said.
The official ruled out a meeting between Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and U.S. President Donald Trump on the fringes of the gathering, but said progress toward an agreement remains possible.
“There is a possibility of moving toward an agreement,” the official said, while adding that Washington must demonstrate “seriousness and commitment” if diplomacy is to advance.
Iran is seeking signs from Washington that it is prepared to return to negotiations and take steps toward an end to the U.S. military blockade of Iranian ports and a halt to military operations related to the Strait of Hormuz, the official said.
If such steps are taken, Iran is prepared to reopen the strategic waterway within seven days and return to the negotiating table, according to the official.
The new initiative has been approved by Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei and the Supreme National Security Council, the country’s top security body, according to the official.
Supreme National Security Council Secretary Mohsen Rezaei said on Saturday that Tehran had presented Washington with seven conditions, including an end to the blockade of Iranian ports and the unfreezing of Iranian assets.
