NYT: Iran Has Delivered a 10-Point Proposal to End the War
As President Trump’s 8 p.m. deadline looms, Iran counters with a bold 10-point proposal via Pakistan. Will the "Islamabad Accord" end the 3-month war, or will the U.S. launch strikes on Iranian infrastructure?
The New York Times reports that Iran formally delivered a 10-point proposal to the United States and Israel on Monday aimed at ending the three-month-old war.
According to the article, the proposal was sent through Pakistani intermediaries — the same back channel the U.S. used last month when it sent Iran its own 15-point plan.
While Iranian state media and two senior Iranian officials confirmed the existence of the 10-point document, the full text has not been released publicly. The Times and other outlets have pieced together the core demands from official statements and anonymous briefings.
The main elements include:
In exchange, Iran would reopen the Strait of Hormuz to international shipping. Iran would impose a roughly $2 million transit fee per ship, splitting the revenue with Oman. Iran would use its share of those fees to pay for its own reconstruction instead of demanding direct cash reparations.
President Trump called the proposal “a significant step” during a White House news conference Monday but said it was “not good enough” to stop planned U.S. strikes. He reiterated his Tuesday evening deadline (8 p.m. Eastern) for Iran to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face major new attacks on Iranian bridges, power plants, and other infrastructure.
Negotiations remain fluid and tense, with both sides still far apart on the biggest issues, especially sanctions relief, the nuclear program, and Iran’s ballistic missiles.
More details are expected throughout the day as Trump’s deadline approaches.
