Iran's 10-Point Proposal
Iran submitted a comprehensive 10-point peace proposal after rejecting the Pakistan-brokered ceasefire plan. Tehran demanded guarantees of no further aggression and continued Iranian control of the Strait of Hormuz. The proposal addressed lifting all sanctions and termination of UN and IAEA resolutions.
Cessation of hostilities across all fronts including Lebanon was demanded. Pakistani Prime Minister Sharif was mediating between the parties.
Trump's Conditional Ceasefire
Trump announced a two-week ceasefire subject to Iran reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi confirmed safe passage through the Strait would be possible via coordination with Iran's armed forces.
Trump attributed his decision to conversations with Pakistan's Prime Minister and army chief. Several of Iran's demands were apparent non-starters for the US.
Opposition and Challenges Ahead
Iran cautioned that accepting the ceasefire did not signify termination of the war. The two-week period appears to be an interim arrangement.
Iran plans to charge a $2 million fee per ship transiting the strait. Israeli Prime Minister insisted Iran must relinquish control of Hormuz.
