Iran says it has presented an 8-point framework (described as part of a wider 10-point plan) to the American side through Pakistan as the basis for negotiations in Islamabad: 1. Organized passage through the Strait of Hormuz in coordination with Iranian armed forces 2. An end to the war against all components of the Resistance Axis 3. Withdrawal of all US combat forces from bases and deployment sites across the region 4. A safe-passage protocol for Hormuz that formally recognizes Iran’s control under the agreement 5. Full compensation payments to Iran based on official damage estimates 6. Lifting of all primary and secondary sanctions 7. Release of all Iranian assets frozen abroad 8. Final ratification through a binding UN Security Council decision The statement says these principles will be the sole basis for two weeks of negotiations in Islamabad, while stressing that this does not yet mark the end of the war.
Today, as part of Economic Fury, Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control designated 35 entities and individuals that oversee Iran’s shadow banking architecture and facilitate the movement of the equivalent of tens of billions of dollars. These networks allow Iran’s armed forces—including the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps—to access the international financial system to receive payment for illicit oil sales, purchase sensitive components for missiles and other weapons systems, and transfer money to Iran’s terrorist proxies.
