Iran has shown flexibility in its nuclear talks with the United States by proposing a 3.5 per cent uranium enrichment limit, Arab media reports said.
Al Arabiya reported that Iranian negotiators also offered to gradually reduce Tehran’s enriched uranium stockpile as part of efforts to ease tensions in the talks.
The reported proposal marks a shift from Iran’s earlier position, which diplomats had viewed as delaying progress in negotiations.
The proposal also includes a phased reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping route in the Gulf region, according to the reports.
Iranian officials linked progress on maritime access to broader political conditions, including the lifting of US sanctions under any final agreement.
The reports said Tehran had softened its demand for a complete withdrawal of US forces from the region and was instead seeking reduced American military activity.
Iran is also seeking international guarantees against future attacks or military escalation, according to the reported framework.

Iranian media outlets Tasnim and Fars reported earlier that Tehran had sent a 14-point peace proposal to the United States through Pakistan as mediator.
The proposal included ending conflict on all fronts, lifting sanctions, releasing frozen Iranian assets, providing compensation and establishing a new control mechanism for the Strait of Hormuz.
Donald Trump said on Truth Social that he would review Iran’s plan but suggested it was unlikely to be acceptable.
