US Pushes 15-Point ‘Framework Deal’ With Iran to End War as Conflict Enters Fourth Week
The United States has sent Iran a 15-point plan aimed at resolving the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, according to a report published Tuesday. The New York Times, citing two officials briefed on the diplomacy, said the proposal was delivered via Pakistan and outlines steps addressing Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs, as well as maritime security in the Strait of Hormuz.
The report noted that it remains unclear whether Iran will accept the proposal, as the war—now in its fourth week—continues with joint US-Zionist strikes and Iranian retaliation. Syed Asim Munir, Pakistan’s army chief, has emerged as a key intermediary between Washington and Tehran, with Islamabad signaling its readiness to host talks if both sides agree.
On Monday, US President Donald Trump announced a five-day pause on strikes targeting Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure, citing “very good and productive” talks with Tehran over the past two days. Iranian officials said they had received messages from “friendly countries” relaying a US request for negotiations to end the war, while denying any direct talks with Washington.
The United States and the Zionist entity have been carrying out airstrikes on Iran since Feb. 28, with more than 1,340 people reported killed so far, including then-Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
