US offers ceasefire plan to Iran

The United States has sent Iran a 15-point peace plan in an attempt to end the war with Iran, now in its fourth week, The New York Times reported, citing U.S. officials.

"The U.S. has sent Iran a 15-point plan to end the war, officials said, which centers largely around previous Trump administration demands of Tehran," the report reads.

The Trump administration is eager to "find an off-ramp from the conflict as it grapples with its economic fallout," said the report.

The plan addresses Iran's ballistic missile and nuclear programs and discusses maritime routes, referring to the Strait of Hormuz.

Israel's Channel 12 also reported that Washington has delivered Tehran a 15-point plan for a month-long ceasefire deal.

The TV channel said U.S. President Donald Trump's advisors Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are promoting the plan for an immediate pause in hostilities, using a 30-day window to finalize the 15-point plan.

The plan demands that Iran dismantle its nuclear capabilities, cease all uranium enrichment, and provide a permanent commitment to never seeking nuclear weapons, the channel reported.

Additionally, Tehran would be required to halt funding and arming allied groups in the region and guarantee that the Strait of Hormuz remains open to international shipping.

In exchange, Washington is offering full sanctions relief, assistance in developing a civilian nuclear energy project in southern Iran's Bushehr, and the removal of the "snapback" mechanism threat that enables the reimposition of previously lifted UN sanctions on Iran.
