Jerusalem, March 25 (ANI) — Israeli media say the Trump administration has presented Iran with a 15-point package of terms intended to end the current conflict. Channel 12, citing an unnamed U.S. official, reported that Washington also briefed Jerusalem about the talks.
Israeli officials are reportedly worried the White House is seeking a framework agreement rather than insisting that all conditions be met before hostilities stop. Channel 12 said a mechanism crafted by White House special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner would begin with a monthlong ceasefire, during which the parties would negotiate the 15-point arrangement.
The report listed 14 of the 15 U.S. demands and concessions. According to that account, the U.S. asks that Iran:
1. Dismantle its existing nuclear capabilities.
2. Commit never to pursue nuclear weapons.
3. End uranium enrichment on Iranian territory.
4. Turn over roughly 450 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60 percent to the IAEA on a set timetable.
5. Dismantle the Natanz, Isfahan and Fordo nuclear facilities.
6. Grant the International Atomic Energy Agency full access, transparency and oversight inside Iran.
7. Abandon its model of supporting regional proxies.
8. Stop funding, directing and arming proxy groups in the region.
9. Ensure the Strait of Hormuz remains open as a free maritime corridor.
10. Limit its missile program in both range and quantity, with specific thresholds to be determined.
11. Restrict any future missile use to self-defence.
In return, the U.S. would offer Iran several benefits, the report said:
12. A full lifting of international sanctions.
13. U.S. assistance to advance Iran’s civilian nuclear program, including electricity generation at the Bushehr plant.
14. Removal of the “snapback” mechanism that automatically reimposes sanctions if Iran fails to comply.
Haaretz reported the proposal was routed to Iran through an intermediary country with a response deadline; Iran replied that it would consider the offer but stressed there are proposals it would never accept. Haaretz also suggested a peace summit could be convened soon to finalize terms.
President Trump confirmed there have been negotiations with Iran and expressed confidence the conflict would end, saying, in effect, that he expected a deal. There has been no formal Iranian acceptance of the package. Iranian officials have denied reports of direct talks with the U.S. and said peace would only follow an end to the campaign by the U.S. and Israel.
