In the latest update on talks with Iran, the United States has now proposed a sweeping 15-point plan to end the war.

Along with several crucial demands for peace — including no nukes for Iran and re-opening the Strait of Hormuz — it also includes a proposal for a month-long ceasefire.

Here are the details:

The 15-point plan was sent to Iran through Pakistan.

The New York Times was the first to report on the plan:

The United States has sent Iran a 15-point plan to end the war in the Middle East, according to two officials briefed on the diplomacy, reflecting the Trump administration’s eagerness to find an offramp from the conflict as it grapples with its economic fallout.

It was unclear how widely the plan, delivered by way of Pakistan, had been shared among Iranian officials and whether Iran was likely to accept it as a basis for negotiations. Nor was it clear whether Israel, which has been bombing Iran together with the United States, was on board with the proposal.

But the delivery of the plan showed that the administration was ramping up efforts to conclude a war, now in its fourth week, that has drawn in several other countries.

Iran has not responded to it, yet.

But, in perhaps the most promising sign yet towards an end to the conflict in the Middle East, President Trump made a big announcement today.

He said that Iran has already agreed to the most important demand — never getting a nuclear weapon!

Watch this:

President Trump also said that VP JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are directly involved in the ongoing negotiations with Iran.

From CNBC:

A day earlier, Trump told reporters that there were “like 15” points of agreement between the U.S. and Iran. Keeping Iran from getting a nuclear weapon was “No. 1, 2 and 3″ on that list, he said.

Trump, in the Oval Office on Tuesday, said that multiple U.S. officials are involved in the negotiations, name-checking Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

He has previously said U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, his son-in-law and close advisor, were in talks with Iranian counterparts on Sunday evening.

Amid the messaging clash between the U.S. and Iran on negotiations, multiple outlets have reported that regional leaders are engaged in behind-the-scenes diplomatic efforts to help broker an end to the war.

Along with preventing Iran from ever getting their hands on a nuclear weapon and getting the vital Strait of Hormuz trade route re-opened, the 15-point plan would also limit Iran’s missile capabilities.

In return, global sanctions against Iran would be ended, and the U.S. would provide assistance on a civilian nuclear energy program for Iranians.

The New York Post shared more details of the plan:

Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner are reportedly seeking Tehran to agree to a monthlong cease-fire, during which the 15 points of the plan would be negotiated, according to Israel’s Channel 12.

The peace plan is believed to be based on the 15-point framework presented to the Iranian government last year, before Israel launched its 12-day war against the regime and the US bombed Iranian nuclear facilities in Operation Midnight Hammer, according to multiple outlets.

Israel is not involved in the negotiations but was given a heads up by the Trump administration before discussions to end hostilities with Iran began on Sunday, an Israeli official told Channel 12.

The outlet’s report contains 14 of the 15 demands the Trump administration has conveyed to Iran. 

  1. Iran must dismantle existing nuclear capabilities
  2. Iran must commit never to pursue nuclear weapons.
  3. No uranium enrichment on Iranian territory.
  4. Iran must hand its stockpile of enriched uranium to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). 
  5. The Natanz, Isfahan and Fordo nuclear facilities must be dismantled.
  6. The IAEA must be granted full access to Iran’s nuclear facilities.
  7. Iran must abandon its “regional proxy paradigm.”
  8. Iran must cease the funding, directing and arming its proxies.
  9. The Strait of Hormuz must remain open. 
  10. Iran’s missile program must be limited in both range and quantity.
  11. Iran must limit its use of missiles to self-defense.

In return, Iran would benefit from: 

  1. The end of sanctions imposed by the international community.
  2. US assistance to advance its civilian nuclear program. 
  1. A “snapback” mechanism allowing for the automatic reimposition of sanctions if Iran fails to comply would be removed.

I’m sure we will have more updates to bring you on this in the coming days…

Pray for a solid solution for long-term peace!
