Trump reviews new Iranian 14-point proposal to end war
On Saturday, US President Donald Trump announced he is considering a new proposal from Iran aimed at concluding the conflict, with more information to follow. Iranian news agencies Tasnim and Fars reported that Iran submitted a 14-point plan through Pakistan, responding to a nine-point proposal from the US. Pakistan has facilitated earlier discussions. Trump voiced doubt on social media, expressing that he finds it hard to believe the proposal would be satisfactory, given Iran's behavior over the past 47 years. Although he dismissed an earlier Iranian offer this week, dialogue persists, and a ceasefire lasting three weeks seems to be intact. Additionally, Trump suggested a new initiative to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial route for global oil and gas trade.
