The Jerusalem Post, citing two sources, reported Tehran initiated a
mediator-backed proposal for a 10-day ceasefire with the US aimed at resolving
Strait of Hormuz disputes. Mediators including senior officials from Qatar,
Egypt, Oman and Pakistan have submitted the proposal to Washington and added
measures such as a proposed transit corridor to allow safe passage for
commercial ships through the Hormuz shipping lane. Sources said the US is
seeking to extend the ceasefire and insists on at least a partial agreement on
freedom of navigation before any pause takes effect, with remaining details to
be finalized during the proposed 10-day window. At least some Trump
administration officials described Iran’s offer as “absurd” and “illogical,” and
a US official said Trump is pushing to make Iran “pay a price” for alleged
violations of memoranda of understanding and for actions that resulted in US
casualties.
