Iran has rejected a US-proposed ceasefire in the ongoing conflict and instead presented its own 10‑point plan for peace, delivered through Pakistan. Tehran says it wants a permanent end to the war, rather than a temporary halt, warning that a short-term truce would only allow adversaries to regroup and resume attacks.
The plan outlines several key demands. Iran is calling for the lifting of international sanctions, support for rebuilding areas damaged by the conflict, and guarantees for safe passage through the strategic Strait of Hormuz, which is crucial for global oil shipments. Tehran also wants assurances that hostilities will not resume once an agreement is reached.
According to Iran sources , the country sees the US ceasefire proposal as too short-term and misaligned with its security interests. By contrast, Iran’s plan is framed as a comprehensive approach that addresses the root causes of the conflict and seeks long-term stability in the region.
Diplomats from Pakistan, acting as a mediator, delivered the plan to Washington. US officials have described it as a “significant step”, but note that it does not meet key US objectives, including reopening the Strait of Hormuz and ensuring regional security. The two sides remain far apart on terms, highlighting the difficulty of reaching a quick solution.
