Iran has submitted a revised 14-point peace proposal through Pakistani mediators as nuclear negotiations with the United States continue, according to Iranian state-linked media and officials familiar with the talks.

The comes after President Donald Trump warned Tehran to move quickly or face severe consequences if it fails to reach an agreement on its nuclear program.

Iran pushes revised proposal through mediators

Iranian media, including the Tasnim News Agency, reported that Tehran recently sent an updated 14-point document through Pakistani intermediaries. The proposal is said to focus on ending hostilities and introducing confidence-building measures between Iran and the United States.

According to the reports, the plan reflects adjustments to an earlier version of the proposal that was also structured around 14 points. A source cited by Iranian media said the updated text was part of continued message exchanges between the two sides.

The proposal has not been publicly released, and details remain limited. Iranian officials have suggested that the framework includes expectations for reciprocal steps by the United States, such as easing certain economic restrictions during negotiations.

U.S. officials have not confirmed the contents of the Iranian proposal or claims that Washington has offered concessions linked to oil sanctions.

Trump issues a warning

President Donald Trump responded to the ongoing diplomatic efforts with a strong warning posted on Truth Social, saying Iran must act quickly.

“For Iran, the Clock is Ticking, and they better get moving Fast, or there won’t be anything left of them. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE,” Trump wrote.

The administration has maintained that any agreement must include strict limits on Iran’s uranium enrichment program. U.S. officials have repeatedly raised concerns about Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium, which they say could shorten the timeline for developing nuclear weapons capability if further processed.

Special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are leading U.S. negotiations. According to administration officials, the talks aim to reach a broader framework that would address nuclear restrictions, sanctions, and regional security concerns.

However, officials acknowledge that progress has been slow. Secretary of State Marco Rubio told NBC that internal divisions within Iran are complicating the process, making it difficult for negotiators to receive consistent responses.

“In many cases, the feeling is we are negotiating with someone who then has to turn around and negotiate with someone in his own system in his own country,” Rubio said. He added that delays in responses have slowed momentum in the talks.

Uranium enrichment and sanctions remain key obstacles

At the center of the dispute is Iran’s uranium enrichment program. The United States has demanded that Iran halt enrichment at high levels and reduce its stockpiles. American officials have also called for stronger verification measures to ensure compliance.

Iran, however, has resisted calls to fully surrender its enriched uranium stockpiles. Reports suggest much of the material is stored in heavily fortified or damaged sites, complicating verification efforts.

U.S. officials have also discussed possible military options in private briefings, though no action has been taken. Satellite monitoring of Iranian nuclear facilities continues, according to administration statements.

Negotiators have also debated sanctions relief. Iranian sources claim the latest proposal includes temporary easing of some oil-related restrictions during negotiations, but this has not been confirmed by U.S. officials or Pakistani mediators involved in the process.
