The United States has sent a 15-point plan to Iran to end the war in the Middle East.

The United States has sent a 15-point plan to Iran to end the war in the Middle East. The New York Times reports on this, citing sources.

 

It is noted that the plan reflects the Trump administration's desire to find a way out of the war, as the economic consequences of the conflict are being felt.

 

Officials stated that the plan was delivered via Pakistan and that Pakistan's Chief of Army Staff Munir is actively serving as the main mediator between the U.S. and Iran. 

 

According to the publication, Egypt and Turkey have called on Iran to adopt a constructive approach. Munir has close ties with Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and serves as a mediator in conveying messages between the parties.

 

The content of the plan addresses Iran's ballistic missile and nuclear programs. During the bombing campaign that began on February 28, Israel and the U.S. have targeted Iran's missiles, their launchers and production facilities, as well as its nuclear program. American and Israeli leaders have pledged not to allow Iran to possess nuclear weapons.

 

The plan also covers maritime routes. Since the beginning of the war, Iran has been blocking almost all Western vessels from safely passing through the Strait of Hormuz. The delivery of oil and natural gas to the world market via this strategic waterway has decreased, and prices have risen.

 

However, The Telegraph reports, citing sources, that the Iranian side is unwilling to hold face-to-face negotiations with Whitkoff and Kushner following the talks in February, due to Tehran being targeted. 

 

Furthermore, if new talks begin in Pakistan by the end of the week, U.S. Vice President JD Vance is being considered as the chief negotiator.

 

Sources indicate that Iran also prefers to work with Vance, as he is believed to keep his promises.
