New York Times Newspaper has given details of what it says is Iran's 10-point proposal aimed at ending the war, which includes a fee for passage through the Strait of Hormuz and an end to Israeli attacks on Hezbollah. The plan was reportedly passed through Pakistan, which is acting as a key mediator in the conflict, but it appears unlikely to resolve the core issues before a deadline set by President Donald Trump for new attacks on Iran on Tuesday night. Two senior Iranian officials, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive negotiations, said the proposal included guarantees that Iran would not be subjected to further attacks, an end to Israeli strikes on Hezbollah, and in Lebanon and lifting all sanctions against Tehran.
In return, Iran would lift its de facto blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital sea route through which much of the world's oil supplies pass.
Under the proposal, Iran would levy a fee of about $2 million on each ship passing through the strait, splitting the revenue with Oman, which is on the other side of the waterway.
Under the plan, Tehran would use its share of the funds to rebuild infrastructure damaged in the US and Israeli strikes, rather than seeking direct compensation.
