Iran sent a proposal to the United States via Pakistan offering to reopen the Strait of Hormuz if the United States ended its blockade of Iranian ports and either extended the ceasefire or permanently ended the war, Axios reported on April 27. Under this proposal, nuclear negotiations would occur only after the strait was reopened and the U.S. blockade on Iran was lifted, though it does not specify a clear timeline for when negotiations would resume.

Trump called off special envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff's visit to Pakistan, which was supposed to coincide with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi's April 25 visit. Trump is slated to have a Situation Room meeting on April 27 to discuss the Iran conflict. Araghchi has alluded to internal Iranian political disputes that have complicated the formation of a unified position or willingness to make nuclear concessions.
