Tehran has unveiled a comprehensive 10‑point peace plan to end the ongoing conflict with the United States. The plan sets out Iran’s key demands, including acceptance of its uranium enrichment program, lifting all primary and secondary sanctions, and halting regional wars permanently.
The announcement coincides with a two-week ceasefire, providing both sides a narrow window for negotiations. Talks are scheduled to begin in Islamabad, mediated by Pakistan, as Iran emphasises that these conditions will ensure long-term peace and regional stability.
Iran’s Supreme National Security Council described the plan as a blueprint for a significant diplomatic victory, highlighting its insistence on binding the deal under international law.

US-Israel-Iran War Latest Update: Ceasefire Holds Back Escalation as Talks Loom
The two-week ceasefire marks a temporary pause in hostilities across multiple fronts, including Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, and Yemen. While this window provides an opportunity for diplomacy, Iran stresses that it “does not signify the termination of the war”.
President Trump has suspended planned strikes on Iran, contingent on the country honouring the ceasefire and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Both sides are using this period to prepare for negotiations and assess the feasibility of Iran’s 10‑point plan.
The ceasefire also reduces immediate risks to civilian populations and global energy markets, providing breathing space for diplomacy.
US-Israel-Iran War Latest Update: US‑Iran Ceasefire Agreement
Under the ceasefire, both US and Tehran have agreed to halt major military operations while negotiations begin in Islamabad. Pakistani mediation is expected to play a key role in facilitating dialogue and addressing points of contention.
Trump described Iran’s plan as a workable basis on which to negotiate, signalling willingness to explore a diplomatic solution rather than escalating the conflict. The temporary truce is being framed as a double-sided agreement, ensuring both sides have incentives to cooperate.
Officials warn that the durability of the ceasefire depends on adherence to Iran’s conditions, including reopening the strategic Strait of Hormuz and compliance with nuclear-related terms.
US-Israel-Iran War Latest Update: Strait of Hormuz Reopens With Conditions
The Strait of Hormuz, through which nearly a fifth of the world’s oil passes, has been under Iranian control since the escalation of the conflict. As part of the ceasefire, Tehran has allowed coordinated maritime passage under its armed forces, easing some pressure on global energy markets.
However, navigation remains subject to technical restrictions, reflecting Iran’s continued strategic leverage. The safe reopening of the strait is a cornerstone of the temporary ceasefire and a key bargaining point in ongoing negotiations.
US-Israel-Iran War Latest Update: New Phase of Diplomacy Begins Amid Ongoing Conflict
The ceasefire and 10‑point plan open a new chapter in diplomacy between the US and Iran. While tensions remain high, both sides have signalled readiness to explore a longer-term settlement.
The negotiations will focus on nuclear rights, sanctions relief, regional influence, and maritime security. Analysts note that Iran’s maximalist demands, particularly on uranium enrichment and lifting sanctions, will be the main test for whether a durable peace can be achieved.
US-Israel-Iran War Latest Update: What’s Next?
Despite the temporary ceasefire, uncertainty persists in the region. Military activity continues in certain areas, and fundamental disagreements over nuclear and regional issues remain unresolved.
The two-week truce offers a critical diplomatic window. The world watches closely to see if the talks can lead to a long-term resolution or if hostilities will resume once the ceasefire expires.
