Tehran proposes US lift oil and naval sanctions within 30 days, escalating tensions amid stalled negotiations.
Iran has submitted a proposal demanding the US remove oil sanctions, end its naval blockade, and provide war-end guarantees within 30 days, according to an informed source. The text also calls for immediate sanctions relief, signaling heightened pressure in nuclear negotiations.
Previous rounds of talks have stalled over similar demands, with the US insisting on gradual compliance. The 30-day timeline marks a sharper escalation, contrasting with earlier phased approaches. No official response from Washington has been issued yet.
Markets remain cautious as geopolitical risks weigh on oil prices and regional equities. The S&P 500 showed muted reaction in early trading, reflecting uncertainty over the proposal’s viability.
