According to exclusive reports, the administration of former President Donald Trump is actively seeking to broker a one-month ceasefire with Iran, alongside the submission of a detailed 15-point peace plan to Tehran. This initiative aims to de-escalate tensions and pave the way for substantive negotiations between the two nations.
Framework for Negotiations
Middle East envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff are reportedly at the forefront of developing this diplomatic framework. Sources familiar with the matter, as cited by Israel's Channel 12, indicate that the proposal involves "the declaration of a monthlong ceasefire period, during which the sides would negotiate" the terms of the peace plan. This structured approach is designed to create a temporary halt in hostilities, allowing for focused discussions without the immediate threat of conflict.
Details of the 15-Point Plan
The New York Times has corroborated these reports, citing two officials who were briefed on the ongoing talks. The 15-point peace plan is said to be modelled on previous Trump-brokered agreements in Gaza, suggesting a similar strategy of incremental steps and confidence-building measures. Key components of the proposal reportedly address Iran's nuclear and missile capabilities, which have long been a point of contention in international relations. This focus underscores the administration's priority in curbing Iran's military advancements as part of a broader regional stability effort.
While specifics of the plan remain under wraps, insiders suggest it encompasses a range of diplomatic, economic, and security provisions aimed at fostering long-term peace. The White House has been contacted for official comment on these developments, but no immediate response has been provided, leaving the details to be clarified through further reporting and official statements.
