A new report by Al Jazeera states that Iran has presented a 14-point proposal to the United States aimed at bringing the ongoing conflict to a permanent close, including a provision to settle all outstanding issues within 30 days.

According to the report, the proposal was conveyed through Pakistan as a response to a U.S.-supported nine-point framework. Rather than extending the current ceasefire, Iran’s plan focuses on achieving a comprehensive and lasting agreement. It calls for firm assurances against future military strikes, the removal of American forces from regions near Iran, and the elimination of longstanding sanctions.

The proposal further demands the unfreezing of billions of dollars in Iranian assets and compensation in the form of war reparations. Tehran is also pressing for a full cessation of hostilities across the region, including an end to fighting in Lebanon, as part of a wider effort to reduce tensions.

A major element of the plan involves creating a new system to regulate the Strait of Hormuz, a critical route for global energy shipments. Control and access to the strait remain among the most disputed issues between the two sides.

Iran is also seeking formal recognition of its right to enrich uranium under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, positioning the matter as a key component of any final agreement.

The proposal comes after several weeks of stalled talks, despite a ceasefire that began on April 8. While Iran has been pushing for a permanent settlement, the United States has continued to emphasize conditions tied to reopening the Strait of Hormuz and restricting Iran’s nuclear program.

President Donald Trump said he is currently reviewing the proposal but voiced skepticism about its viability. He also cautioned that military operations could resume if Iran takes further hostile steps.

Previous rounds of diplomacy have produced multiple competing proposals, including earlier Iranian initiatives and a U.S. draft that envisioned a temporary ceasefire while negotiations continued. Although recent discussions have shown some signs of flexibility, significant disagreements persist, particularly over Iran’s nuclear activities and authority over the Strait of Hormuz.

The Al Jazeera report indicated that the latest proposal reflects an effort to move beyond a temporary truce toward a permanent resolution, even as tensions between the parties remain unresolved.
