Iran proposes multi-stage ceasefire, nuclear freeze

Iran has expressed its desire for a long-term, multi-stage ceasefire agreement in its latest proposal, Al Arabiya TV reported. The country is demanding a phased and secure reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, while agreeing to a long-term freeze of its nuclear program rather than a complete dismantlement. Additionally, Iran has suggested it could unconditionally transfer its enriched uranium to Russia, but not to the U.S.
