Trump Reviews Iran's 14-Point Peace Proposal
President Trump said he is reviewing Iran's latest 14-point proposal to end the ongoing war but indicated it is unlikely to be acceptable, citing Iran's actions over the past 47 years. The proposal, delivered through Pakistan, calls for U.S. force withdrawals, sanctions relief, and guarantees against future attacks. Diplomatic efforts continue amid a fragile ceasefire and elevated oil prices.

Iran has submitted a 14-point proposal to the United States via Pakistan, aiming for a permanent end to the ongoing conflict within 30 days, according to details reported in Al Jazeera. The proposal includes provisions for opening the Strait of Hormuz, ceasing hostilities, lifting U.S. sanctions, releasing frozen Iranian assets, providing security guarantees against future attacks, withdrawing U.S. forces from areas around Iran, paying war reparations, and establishing a new mechanism for the strait.
It responds to a prior U.S. nine-point plan and follows Iran's earlier 10-point submission on April 7, as well as a U.S. 15-point plan from March 25 that called for dismantling Iranian nuclear facilities in Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordow, handing over enriched uranium to the IAEA, and committing to never develop nuclear weapons, in exchange for sanctions relief and strait reopening.
President Trump, speaking to reporters in Florida on Saturday, said he is reviewing the proposal but expressed skepticism, stating, "I can't imagine it would be acceptable," according to the New York Post. He added, "If they do something bad, there is a possibility it could happen," referring to potential resumption of military strikes, as quoted by Al Jazeera.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote, "THEY HAVE NOT YET PAID A BIG ENOUGH PRICE FOR WHAT THEY HAVE DONE," per a tweet from @DeItaone. Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi, after delivering the proposal, said the decision now rests with the United States to choose diplomacy or confrontation, as reported by Al Jazeera.
A senior Iranian official, speaking anonymously to Al Jazeera, described the plan as deferring nuclear talks to a later stage to enable progress on opening the strait and ending the U.S. blockade.
The proposal comes amid a ceasefire that began on April 8, following the war's start on February 28 with U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran. Tensions persist, with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps stating on Saturday that it remains on full standby due to perceived U.S. lack of commitment to treaties, according to its intelligence unit's post on X.
