Iran has sent a new negotiation proposal to the United States through a Pakistani intermediary, despite ongoing tensions from maritime blockades and the Strait of Hormuz crisis. Trump stated that only a few people know the true status of the talks.
On 1 May 2026, sources close to the U.S.-Iran negotiation process revealed that Iran has sent a new proposal regarding talks with the United States through a Pakistani intermediary, amid efforts to resolve the escalating tensions between the two countries.
However, there are no clear details about the content of the new proposal yet, and it remains uncertain whether President Donald Trump will accept it. Trump said that only he and a few others know the true status of the negotiations, signaling that talks might still be ongoing behind the scenes.
The U.S. and Iran have been in a diplomatic deadlock for nearly four weeks since both sides reached a temporary ceasefire agreement. Meanwhile, the U.S. continues its blockade of Iranian ports, and Iran restricts shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global oil shipping route.
