Iran unveils detailed 10-point plan demanding end to war

TEHRAN, Iran (MNTV) — Iran has put forward a detailed 10-point proposal aimed at ending the ongoing conflict, firmly rejecting a US-backed framework that centered on a temporary ceasefire and immediate concessions without long-term guarantees.

The proposal, conveyed through mediation channels led by Pakistan, comes after Washington presented a 15-point plan that reportedly called for an immediate halt to hostilities, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and negotiations toward a broader settlement within 15 to 20 days.

Iranian officials dismissed the plan, arguing that it failed to address the underlying drivers of the conflict and instead sought to impose a short-term arrangement under pressure.

At the core of Tehran’s response is a demand for a permanent end to the war, rejecting any temporary ceasefire that could allow renewed military action.

Iran has insisted on binding guarantees that it will not be attacked again, particularly by the United States and Israel, both of which it accuses of sustaining regional instability through repeated strikes.

The plan further calls for an immediate halt to Israeli military operations, including attacks in neighboring countries such as Lebanon, as well as an end to broader regional hostilities involving Iran-aligned groups.

Tehran frames the proposal as essential to achieving comprehensive de-escalation rather than a fragmented or selective ceasefire.

A major component of the proposal is the lifting of all US sanctions on Iran, which officials say have inflicted long-term economic damage and must be removed as part of any credible peace agreement.

Tehran has linked sanctions relief directly to its willingness to engage in further commitments, including discussions on regional security arrangements.

On the strategic issue of maritime security, Iran has proposed reopening the Strait of Hormuz under a new framework. This includes the establishment of regulated transit rules, ensuring safe passage for vessels, and the introduction of transit fees reportedly set at around $2 million per ship.

Iranian officials indicated that these revenues would be shared with Oman and allocated toward reconstruction efforts rather than reparations, signaling an attempt to reshape economic arrangements tied to the waterway.

The proposal also outlines mechanisms for coordinated oversight of shipping routes, aiming to prevent future disruptions while maintaining Iran’s strategic leverage over one of the world’s most critical energy corridors.

Tensions escalated after US President Donald Trump issued a sharp ultimatum demanding the immediate reopening of the strait, warning of sweeping military action targeting Iranian infrastructure if Tehran failed to comply within a set deadline.

The threats included potential strikes on energy facilities and transport networks, raising concerns of a wider regional war.

Iranian officials rejected what they described as coercive diplomacy, emphasizing that decisions would not be made under pressure or artificial timelines. They reiterated that any agreement must be comprehensive, balanced, and enforceable, rather than dictated through unilateral demands.

With Washington refusing to accept the proposal and Tehran holding firm on its conditions, negotiations remain deadlocked. The impasse has heightened fears of further escalation, with global energy markets closely watching developments that could disrupt flows through the Strait of Hormuz and deepen instability across the region.
