Donald Trump has proposed a one-month ceasefire with Iran, presenting a 15-point peace strategy as the U.S. looks for a quick resolution to the ongoing conflict.
Reports from Israel’s Channel 12 indicate that Middle East envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff are crafting a plan for a monthlong ceasefire period during which negotiations would take place.
The New York Times confirmed that the 15-point proposal, similar to Trump’s previous Gaza initiative, has been verified by two officials familiar with the discussions.
The plan demands that Iran dismantle its nuclear and long-range missile capabilities, ensure the Strait of Hormuz remains open, and cut ties with proxy terror groups in the region.
In exchange, the proposal offers Iran support for developing its civilian nuclear program and promises the removal of all international sanctions.
According to Haaretz, Pakistan has relayed the plan to Iranian authorities, who have been given 24 hours to respond.
Trump said Tuesday that Iran had abandoned its nuclear ambitions, with Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio leading the peace talks.
‘They’re talking to us, and they’re talking sense,’ the President told reporters in the Oval Office.

‘I don’t want to say in advance, but they’ve agreed they will never have a nuclear weapon.’
Trump has come under intense pressure to end the war which has sent global oil prices skyrocketing as Iran strangles the narrow Strait of Hormuz.
Oil futures dropped sharply on news of the 15-point plan, with futures for Brent crude – the global benchmark – falling from $100 per barrel to $95.
Trump announced a five-day halt to US strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure on Monday as he urged Tehran to come to the negotiating table.
The US is considering deploying 3,000 paratroopers for a possible ground invasion despite the diplomatic overtures, joining thousands of Marines already in the region.
Mohammed-Baqer Qalibaf, speaker of Iran’s parliament, has emerged as the country’s de-facto leader, with Trump officials singling him out as their preferred interlocutor.
Qalibaf has denied talks with Washington.
Trump refused to provide names on Tuesday as he bragged: ‘We killed all their leadership.’

The President claimed that Iran had presented the US with a valuable gift, in a sign of their goodwill, without revealing what that was.
‘They did something yesterday that was amazing. Actually, they gave us a present and the present arrived today and it was a very big present, worth a tremendous amount of money,’ Trump said.
‘And I’m not going to tell you what that present is, but it was a very significant prize and they gave it to us.’
Asked about the proposed month-long ceasefire and 15-point peace plan, the White House refused to confirm or deny the report.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told the Daily Mail: ‘As President Trump and his negotiators explore this newfound possibility of diplomacy, Operation Epic Fury continues unabated to achieve the military objectives laid out by the commander in chief and the Pentagon.’
