1-month ceasefire, no nukes, reopen Hormuz: Trump’s 15-point plan to end Iran war

The United States has put forward a 15-point proposal to Iran aimed at ending the Middle East conflict, calling for strict limits on Tehran’s nuclear programme, an end to support for proxy groups, and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, according to media reports.

Washington is also seeking a month-long ceasefire to allow space for negotiations, with the plan reportedly conveyed via intermediaries from Pakistan, which has offered to host renewed talks between the two sides.

According to The New York Times, the proposal includes dismantling Iran’s missile capabilities and related military infrastructure. In return, the US is expected to offer sanctions relief, allow a monitored civilian nuclear programme with fuel facilities located outside Iran under UN oversight, and explore economic engagement to support Iran’s economy.

Israeli officials, who have been urging President Donald Trump to continue the war, were reportedly surprised by the ceasefire component of the proposal, a person told The Associated Press.

The development comes even as the US military prepares to deploy at least 1,000 additional troops to the region, adding to the roughly 50,000 already stationed across the Middle East.

A source familiar with the matter also confirmed to Reuters that Washington had shared a plan with Tehran, though further details were not disclosed.
