Senior Iranian officials tell Reuters that mediators have presented Iran with a proposal to de-escalate tensions with the United States through a 10-day cessation of strikes. The proposal is presented as a way to create space for renewed diplomacy and to revive an interim agreement reached last month. Multiple outlets report that the ceasefire would be temporary and focused on reducing hostilities while talks resume, rather than replacing the prior interim arrangement.
According to the same Reuters account cited by several publications, the mediators’ plan is intended to “find ways to revive” the interim deal, suggesting both sides remain engaged in weighing next steps amid ongoing regional instability. Other reporting notes that military activity and related incidents continue in parallel, underscoring that the proposal is not yet implemented and would depend on acceptance by the parties involved.
Overall, the reports describe a fresh diplomatic effort led by intermediaries to reduce the immediate risk of further escalation between Washington and Tehran by temporarily pausing strikes and reopening the path to negotiations tied to the earlier interim understanding.
