Iran Proposes Four-Stage Deal With US Demanding Military Ceasefire and Sanctions Relief Before Nuclear Talks

Iran has outlined a four-stage plan for a potential agreement with the United States. The proposal sequences a cessation of military actions, concrete implementation steps, broader negotiations, and oversight arrangements. The first stage calls for a complete cessation of military actions across all fronts, including Iran, the United States, and the resistance axis.

After that stage is established, the plan states it is time for concrete and executive measures. The second stage centers on four implementation issues: the Strait of Hormuz and related mechanisms, lifting the blockade, removing oil restrictions and sanctions, and releasing part of Iran's frozen assets. The same stage requires determination of those four issues in sequence.

The third stage would begin broader sanctions and nuclear negotiations once objective and verifiable measures have been implemented. The fourth stage involves establishing a monitoring committee to oversee implementation of the agreement and track commitments by all parties. Fars News reported the four-stage plan on or before June 3, 2026.
