Iran has submitted a 14-point counterproposal to the United States calling for a permanent end to hostilities and a full withdrawal of U.S. forces from the region, Tasnim news agency reported Saturday.
The plan, delivered through Pakistani intermediaries, responds to a nine-point U.S. proposal, Tasnim said. While Washington’s plan calls for a two-month ceasefire, Tehran is pushing for a 30-day timeline to resolve key issues, insisting talks focus on "ending the war" rather than a temporary truce, the report added.
Iran’s demands include U.S. troop withdrawal from areas near its borders, guarantees of non-aggression, and economic steps such as lifting the naval blockade, releasing frozen assets, easing sanctions, and paying compensation. The proposal also calls for ending hostilities across multiple fronts, including Lebanon, and establishing a new governing mechanism for the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global oil route.
Tasnim said Iran is awaiting a formal U.S. response.
U.S. President Donald Trump wrote on social media Saturday that he will review Iran’s proposal but "can’t imagine that it would be acceptable," adding Tehran "has not yet paid a big enough price." Earlier, before boarding a flight from Florida, Trump warned strikes on Iran could resume if Tehran "misbehaves."
In late February, Israel and the United States carried out joint strikes on Tehran and other Iranian cities, prompting Iran to retaliate with waves of missile and drone attacks on Israel and U.S. interests across the region. Tehran also tightened its grip on the Strait of Hormuz, disrupting global oil flows, while Washington imposed a prolonged naval blockade as a lower-risk strategy to pressure Iran.
A ceasefire took effect on April 8, followed by talks between Iranian and U.S. delegations in Islamabad on April 11 and 12 that failed to produce a deal.
