- United States offered a 14‑point proposal requiring Iran to halt uranium enrichment for at least 12 years, abandon nuclear weapons pathways, and surrender highly enriched uranium in exchange for eased sanctions, release of frozen assets, and a naval blockade lift.
- Shehbaz Sharif said preparations for a high‑profile diplomatic meeting are underway in Islamabad, potentially as early as Wednesday.
