## Key points

- Iran has offered the US a new proposal through Qatari mediators.
- Tehran conditions talks and reopening Hormuz on seven demands.
- Rezaei met Putin as Iran and Russia deepen ties.

## Summary

Iran has intensified diplomatic outreach as US President Donald Trump threatens renewed large-scale strikes, following recent US attacks and Iran’s downing of two US reconnaissance drones near Qeshm island. The exchanges raise the risk of further conflict, while Tehran is seeking to make its conditions central to any negotiations.

Iran has sent Washington a new nuclear and peace proposal through Qatari mediators, but says talks and reopening the Strait of Hormuz depend on the US meeting seven demands, including lifting sanctions, unfreezing Iranian assets and ending its naval blockade. The US is reviewing the proposal and says any ceasefire deal must address Iran’s nuclear capacity. In Moscow, Iranian security chief Mohsen Rezaei met Vladimir Putin and delivered a message from Iran’s Supreme Leader; he also discussed proposed gas pipelines, as reports point to growing military and economic ties between Russia and Iran.
