What is in the US-Iran peace deal? What we know so far

US President Donald Trump has postponed attacks on Iranian energy infrastructure to negotiate an agreement based on Tehran’s 10-point proposal A two-week ceasefire announced by US President Donald Trump appeared to have brought a temporary halt to the US-Israeli war on Iran. Washington says it now aims to negotiate a long-term peace deal based on a “workable” 10-point proposal put forward by Tehran. Over the past six weeks, the conflict has killed thousands, leaving much of Iran in rubble and its people defiant. It has also caused unprecedented disruption to global energy supplies, mainly due to Tehran’s effective closure of the strategic Strait of Hormuz. Here is what we know so far about the agreement, its terms, and the path ahead. Who brokered the US-Iran deal? The ceasefire was primarily brokered by Pakistan, which has been acting as a diplomatic intermediary between Washington and Tehran. In his announcement, Trump directly credited Pakistani leaders for his decision to suspend the bombing of Iran. What is in Iran’s 10-point plan? Iran has put forward a 10‑point proposal that Trump described as a “workable basis” for negotiations. According to Iran’s semi‑official Mehr News Agency, the plan includes: Read more Iran thanks Pakistan for mediation efforts with US Non-aggression The continuation of Iran’s control over the Strait of Hormuz Acceptance of uranium enrichment Lifting all primary sanctions Lifting all secondary sanctions Termination of all UN Security Council resolutions condemning the Islamic Republic Termination of all IAEA Board of Governors resolutions against Iran Payment of compensation to Iran Withdrawal of US combat forces from the region Cessation of war on all fronts, including against Hezbollah in Lebanon. What has Trump said about the peace plan? Trump announced the “double-sided ceasefire,” stressing Iran’s agreement to ensure the “complete, immediate and safe opening” of the Strait of Hormuz through which roughly a fifth of the world’s daily oil supply passes.

Trump has also stressed that Iran would no longer be allowed to enrich uranium and will have to dig up and remove all the “deeply buried Nuclear ‘dust’.” In return, he said, the US has suspended planned strikes on Iranian infrastructure , including bridges, power plants and other key installations, pending negotiations.

He also stated that the current Iranian plan is “not good enough” and warned that the US would resume its strikes if no final deal is reached by the new deadline. What has Iran said about the ceasefire deal? Iran’s Supreme National Security Council confirmed its acceptance of the ceasefire and said that negotiations with the US would begin in Islamabad on April 10, with a two-week period that may be extended by mutual agreement. The council stressed that the talks “do not mean the end of the war” and that Iran would continue military operations if its demands are not fully met.
