According to reports from Israeli and US media, the US government under President Donald Trump is seeking a one-month ceasefire in the conflict with Iran. The initiative is said to be part of a broader 15-point plan that could be negotiated during the current five-day pause in fighting. Senior advisers are reportedly expected to facilitate indirect talks, with Pakistan acting as a possible intermediary. The aim is to temporarily halt hostilities and use the window to reach a long-term agreement. However, Iran firmly rejects all reports of negotiations, describing them as misleading.
The proposed plan includes far-reaching demands on Iran, such as the complete abandonment of nuclear weapons ambitions, a permanent ban on uranium enrichment, and the control or transfer of existing stockpiles. It also calls for an end to support for regional militias and limits on the country’s missile program. In addition, it seeks guarantees for the security of key shipping routes, including the Strait of Hormuz. In return, the United States is reportedly offering full sanctions relief and support for civilian nuclear projects.
The proposal has been met with skepticism in Israel. Government officials have expressed doubts about the reliability of Iran’s leadership and have responded cautiously to the initiative. At the same time, Tehran insists that no direct or indirect talks are taking place and outlines its own conditions for any future engagement, including security guarantees, compensation for damages, and the withdrawal of US and Israeli forces from the Gulf region.
