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 document, sent through intermediaries, calls on Iran to dismantle its three main nuclear sites and end any enrichment on Iranian soil, suspend its ballistic-missile work, curb support for proxies and fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz, according to the officials.
In return, Iran would have nuclear-related sanctions lifted, the officials said, and the U.S. would assist-while monitoring-the country's civilian nuclear program. The plan broadly reflects the U.S. proposal discussed with Iran before the war started Feb. 28, when President Trump accused Tehran of not negotiating in good faith. Iran's new, harder-line leadership says it now has higher demands of Washington, such as seeking reparations for weeks of attacks.
On Tuesday, Trump said he was far more confident of Iran's willingness to come to an agreement. "They'd like to make a deal," he told reporters during an Oval Office event. "They've agreed they will never have a nuclear weapon."
