Trump Reviews Iran's 14-Point Proposal to End War

President Trump said Saturday he is reviewing Iran’s latest 14-point proposal to permanently end the war but expressed skepticism that it would meet U.S. requirements. He made the comments after being briefed on the concept while in West Palm Beach, Florida, shortly before boarding Air Force One, according to The New York Times and the New York Post.

The statements followed his rejection of an earlier Iranian offer the previous day.

Iran’s proposal includes a U.S. naval blockade lift, release of frozen assets, lifting of sanctions, and an end to the war on all fronts including Lebanon, according to Tasnim news agency as cited by Al Jazeera. Iranian officials have requested resolution of issues within 30 days with a focus on permanently ending the war, while the U.S. had requested a ceasefire with a two-month deadline for a final deal.

The proposals address Iran’s nuclear program, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, and broader diplomatic terms, sources in the reports agree.

Iran’s deputy foreign minister Kazem Gharibabadi said Friday that the U.S. “must choose between diplomacy or confrontation,” adding that Iran “is prepared to fight if conflict resumes,” according to Iranian state media reported by The New York Times.

The New York Post reported that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has scheduled a security cabinet meeting for Sunday. Al Jazeera reported Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon over the past 12 hours in areas including Chihine and Ar-Rayhan.

U.S. and Israeli operations against Iran led to Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz through attacks and threats to ships. The U.S. responded with a naval blockade of Iranian ports that began on April 13, 2026, cutting off about 15 million barrels of crude and refined products daily from global markets, according to Al Jazeera reporting.
