US President Trump suspended bombing campaigns against Iran and announced a two-week ceasefire, deeming Iran's 10-point proposal workable. Iran presented a comprehensive framework demanding US acceptance of its nuclear program and lifting all sanctions, while insisting on non-aggression and control over the Strait of Hormuz. While a window for long-term peace talks is opened, significant gaps remain between the two sides on core issues.
Iran's 10-point demands, presented in Farsi, included a clause accepting uranium enrichment, which was absent in English versions. US President Trump called the plan a fraud, stating he does not guarantee the cessation of Iran's nuclear program. Iran's proposal responds to the US 15-point plan but ignores key demands such as full recognition of Israel.
The ceasefire between the US, Israel, and Iran is welcomed, but Iran's regime remains intact and its nuclear program is not ended. Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz signals a long-term shift in the Persian Gulf's balance of power. President Trump's unpredictable actions pose a serious test to the prestige of the US presidency and the international order.
