Iran has proposed a three-stage negotiation plan.

According to sources in Iran, the country has conveyed a three-stage negotiation plan to the US through intermediaries. The first stage of negotiations focuses on a complete cessation of hostilities and obtaining guarantees to prevent the re-ignition of war against Iran and Lebanon. If an agreement is reached in the first stage, the parties will move to the second stage, which will specifically examine the management of the Strait of Hormuz. The third stage is related to discussions on the nuclear issue, but Iran will absolutely not participate in nuclear negotiations until an agreement is reached in the first two stages. (CCTV)
