Details have emerged of a 15-point proposal by the United States aimed at resolving the ongoing conflict with Iran, according to multiple international reports.
Reuters reported that the plan had already been communicated to Tehran, while The New York Times cited two officials as saying the proposal was delivered through Pakistan. However, The Guardian noted that it remains unclear how widely the proposal has been circulated among Iranian authorities or whether it would be accepted as a basis for negotiations.
According to Channel 12, the proposal outlines sweeping demands and incentives covering Iran’s nuclear program, regional activities, and sanctions relief.
Key elements of the plan include:
Full dismantling of Iran’s nuclear capabilities and a commitment to halt pursuit of nuclear weapons
Immediate cessation of uranium enrichment activities
Transfer of all enriched nuclear material under a timeline agreed by the United States, Israel, and Iran
Decommissioning of major nuclear facilities in Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordow
Granting the International Atomic Energy Agency unrestricted access to Iran’s nuclear program data
The proposal also calls for major shifts in Iran’s regional posture, including abandoning its proxy network and ending support for armed groups across the Middle East. It further stipulates keeping the Strait of Hormuz open as a free and secure international waterway.
On the military front, Iran would be required to limit its missile program in both range and number, with any future use restricted strictly to self-defense.
In return, the proposal offers significant incentives, including the lifting of all sanctions, removal of the “snapback” mechanism, and international support—particularly from the United States and Israel—for the development of a civilian nuclear energy project in Bushehr.
Despite the sweeping scope of the proposal, uncertainty remains over Tehran’s response and whether the plan could pave the way for renewed diplomatic engagement.
