Reports say US sent Iran a 15 point peace plan amid push for ceasefire

The exact contents of the proposal have not been released publicly, and it remains unclear whether Israel has formally endorsed it. Israeli media reports, cited by international outlets, said the framework centers on a one month ceasefire during which broader terms would be negotiated. Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations said he was not familiar with any Israeli participation in direct U.S. Iran talks.

The reported framework addresses Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs, as well as maritime access through the Strait of Hormuz. According to details carried in multiple reports, the proposal includes reopening the strait, curbs on support for regional proxy groups, and strict limits on uranium enrichment. Some accounts say it calls for Iran’s enriched uranium stockpiles to be shipped out or diluted, enrichment facilities to be rendered unusable within weeks, and centrifuges to be made inoperable.

In return, the proposal is said to offer sanctions relief and support for a civilian nuclear program under outside supervision. But diplomats familiar with earlier negotiations say many of the reported terms resemble a U.S. term sheet first presented in 2025, which Iran did not accept at the time. That has raised questions over whether Tehran is looking at a genuinely new offer or a revised version of an older framework.

President Donald Trump said Washington was talking to “the right people” in Iran and claimed progress had been made, including what he described as an important concession related to non nuclear energy and the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran, however, has publicly denied direct talks. Iran’s parliament speaker dismissed the reports as fake news, even as Pakistan said it was ready to host meaningful and conclusive negotiations.

The diplomatic push comes at a tense moment. Iran has effectively restricted traffic through the Strait of Hormuz since the war began, though it told international bodies that non hostile vessels could pass if they coordinated with Iranian authorities. At the same time, U.S., Israeli, and Iranian strikes have continued, and Washington is preparing additional troop deployments to the region, underscoring how uncertain the path to a ceasefire remains.
