Iran Proposes New Peace Plan to United States

Iran has submitted a new 14-point peace proposal to the United States via Pakistani mediators, seeking a permanent resolution to the ongoing conflict. The plan reportedly calls for security guarantees and a new governance model for the Strait of Hormuz. US President Donald Trump has expressed skepticism about the proposal's acceptability, but officials say talks are still ongoing.

Government-aligned coverage presents Iran’s 14-point proposal as an insufficient and somewhat disingenuous response that avoids long-term nuclear limits and early reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, placing responsibility for the impasse largely on Tehran. It emphasizes US security and non-proliferation demands as reasonable baselines and frames ongoing talks as contingent on Iran significantly revising its terms.
