The proposal reportedly calls for the removal of sanctions imposed by the US Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), alongside measures including the withdrawal of American forces from the region, removal of naval restrictions, and guarantees against future attacks.

As per the report, Iran wants these financial and operational measures to be implemented immediately after an initial understanding is reached between the two sides.
