[US Media: Iran Eases Conditions for Resuming Talks with the United States] According to Golden Finance, on May 2, Iran submitted a new proposal to Washington aimed at ending the conflict, showing signs of compromise in an effort to restart negotiations and resolve the stalemate that has been causing significant economic strain. Sources revealed that Iran's new proposal takes a step closer to the U.S.: it suggests discussing Tehran's conditions for opening the Strait of Hormuz alongside the U.S.'s commitment to cease attacks and lift the blockade on Iranian ports at the same time. The sources also stated that the proposal further suggests addressing issues related to Iran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief from the U.S. Iran has informed mediators that if Washington is open to this new proposal, Iran is prepared to travel to Pakistan for talks early next week.
