"This agreement is going to make Israel safer, going to make the entire region safer. We feel quite confident that the Israelis are going to be brought in," Vance said in a CBS interview.

"The situation in Washington right now is a very serious problem; the question is how it will be translated into action," said Yaki Dayan, the former Israeli consul in Los Angeles.

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said earlier on Saturday that the US and Iran have agreed to a framework for a peace deal to end the months-long conflict in the Middle East.

Iran also threatened to completely block the Strait of Hormuz, claiming that there would be no talks until its demands on the cessation of Israel's operations in both Lebanon and Gaza were met.

The latest proposal sent by the United States, which was shared with the Israeli sources, reflects a tougher stance by US President Trump on both the Strait of Hormuz and the nuclear program.
