Iran Rejects US Ceasefire Proposal, Unveils 10-Point Plan to End War Permanently
Iran has refused a ceasefire offer from the United States and instead presented a 10 points proposal aimed at bringing a permanent end to the conflict, according to IRNA
What happened exactly
Iran has declined a ceasefire proposal from the United States, instead putting forward 10 points plan that calls for a lasting end to the conflict .
ACCORDING TO IRNA, the response clearly rejects a temporary truce and stresses the need for a final and comprehensive solution to end the war.
Tehran communicated it's stance to Washington via Pakistan on Monday ,the proposal outlines several key demands, including ending conflict across the region, ensuring secure passage through strait of Hormuz under and agreed framework, lifting sanctions, and committing to post war reconstruction efforts.
TRUMP'S PROPOSAL
US President Donald Trump has proposed an extensive 15-point peace framework, alongside a recent 45-day ceasefire initiative, in a high-stakes effort to de-escalate the ongoing conflict and restore access to the Strait of Hormuz.
The 15-Point Peace Framework
The proposal, reportedly conveyed to Tehran through intermediaries such as Pakistan, aims to significantly reshape Iran’s military and strategic posture. Although the complete document has not been publicly disclosed, key reported provisions include:
*Nuclear Rollback: Dismantling critical nuclear facilities located in Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordow.
*Permanent Nuclear Restrictions: A binding commitment to abandon nuclear weapons development, along with transferring enriched uranium stocks to the International Atomic Energy Agency.
*Missile Limitations: Enforcing strict controls on Iran’s ballistic missile capabilities, limiting them solely to defensive purposes.
*Curtailing Regional Influence: Ending financial and military support for allied groups such as Hezbollah and the Houthis.
*Securing Maritime Access: Establishing the Strait of Hormuz as a neutral international waterway, guaranteeing safe and uninterrupted passage for global shipping.
Why Iran rejected
1. strategic mistrust
Iran views the United States and Israel with deep suspicion. It believes that a ceasefire could be used as a tactical pause, allowing its adversaries to regroup militarily and later resume attacks under more favorable conditions.
2. Fear of a “Trap”
From Iran’s perspective, a short-term ceasefire without firm guarantees is risky. It argues that temporary truces do not ensure long-term security and could leave the country vulnerable once hostilities restart.
3. Concerns Over Nuclear and Sanctions Demands
Iran sees demands such as limiting its nuclear program and continuing sanctions as weakening its defense capabilities. Reducing nuclear capacity, in its view, could undermine its strategic deterrence and bargaining power.
4. Position of Strength, Not Weakness
Iran emphasizes that it is not negotiating from a position of weakness. It still maintains significant leverage, including:
Missile capabilities that strengthen its military deterrence
A network of regional allies and groups
Control over key geography, especially the Strait of Hormuz, which is vital for global energy trade
5. Demand for a Permanent Solution
Instead of a temporary ceasefire, Iran is pushing for a comprehensive and lasting resolution to the conflict, ensuring long-term stability rather than short-lived pauses.
Iran's 10 points plan
1. Permanent End to the War
Iran's primary demand is to end the war completely, rejecting any temporary or conditional ceasefire arrangements
2. Lifting of sanctions
Iran stresses for the removal of economic sanctions, viewing them as major barrier to peace, economic growth and stability
3. Post-War Reconstruction Support
A key element is a commitment to rebuilding infrastructure and economies affected by the conflict, ensuring long-term recovery.
4. Reopening the Strait of Hormuz
Iran states it would ensure the reopening of this vital waterway, restoring global trade flow.
5. Halt to Israeli Operations in Lebanon
Iran insists on an immediate stop to military strikes by Israel in Lebanon, aiming to reduce regional tensions.
6. Transit Fee for Ships
Iran proposes a $2 million fee per ship passing through the Strait of Hormuz.
7. End to Attacks on Iranian Allies
Iran calls for a halt to all military actions targeting its regional partners and aligned groups.
8. Revenue Sharing with Oman
The collected fees would be shared with Oman, reflecting regional cooperation.
9. Security Guarantee Against Future Attacks
Iran demands firm international assurances that it will not face further military attacks, ensuring lasting security.
10. Nuclear Capability as Deterrence
A major reason behind this stance is deterrence. Iran believes that maintaining advanced nuclear capabilities—even without building a weapon—helps discourage attacks from rivals like the US and Israel.
