The US and Iran reached a fragile two-week ceasefire after 39 days of conflict, both framing it as a diplomatic breakthrough. The agreement requires the US to pause bombing in exchange for Iran allowing the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Iran claims strategic success, demanding the lifting of US sanctions and withdrawal of American forces.
Iran detailed its 10-point plan for talks with the US, which includes abandoning nuclear weapons and lifting all sanctions. Key provisions also cover the possible withdrawal of US combat forces from the region. Furthermore, the plan calls for the US to accept Iran's right to enrich nuclear material and establish rules for the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran's Supreme National Security Council declared victory in the conflict with the US, claiming Washington accepted Tehran's settlement proposal. Iran asserts that the US recognized its right to enrich uranium, control the Strait of Hormuz, and is ready to lift sanctions. However, the US President has not yet officially announced readiness to lift sanctions or allow uranium enrichment.
US President Trump announced receiving a 'workable' 10-point ceasefire proposal from Iran. The plan includes lifting all sanctions, maintaining Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz, and US military withdrawal from the Middle East. Experts suggest that Iran's maximalist demands are unlikely to be accepted by the US.
