The United States has sent Iran a sweeping 15-point proposal aimed at ending the war and dismantling its nuclear programme. President Donald Trump claimed that Tehran “would like to make a deal.” According to media reports, the proposal was delivered through intermediaries. It outlines a broad framework to halt hostilities, curb Iran’s nuclear ambitions, and reshape its regional role.
The plan calls for Iran to dismantle its three main nuclear facilities, end uranium enrichment on its soil, and suspend its ballistic missile programme. It also seeks to limit Tehran’s support for proxy groups and ensure the full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. The plan includes a one-month ceasefire and demands that Iran commit to never pursuing a nuclear weapon. It requires Tehran to halt enrichment activities and hand over all enriched material to the International Atomic Energy Agency under an agreed timetable.
The proposal requires shutting down and destroying the Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordow facilities. It also demands full access for the UN nuclear watchdog to Iran’s nuclear information. On the regional front, the proposal pushes Iran to abandon its proxy strategy and halt funding and arming of such groups. It also includes provisions to keep the Strait of Hormuz open as a free maritime passage. Missile issues would be addressed at a later stage, with limits on quantity and range. The plan further proposes restricting Iran’s military capabilities to self-defence purposes only.
In return, all nuclear-related sanctions would be lifted. The United States would support a monitored civilian nuclear programme in Bushehr for electricity generation. The plan also proposes removing the “snapback” mechanism that allows sanctions to be reimposed automatically. According to the media, the framework reflects demands made during the Trump administration before the war began on February 28. The diplomatic push comes as the conflict enters its fourth week, with ongoing military escalation and economic pressure.
