Washington Backs Iran Proposal: Strategic Shift or Major US Defeat?

Washington has agreed to review Tehran’s proposal for resolving the military conflict. While the ceasefire does not mark the end of the war, Iran has already declared itself the victor. Iran’s 10-Point Plan The plan accepted by Donald Trump as a “working basis for negotiations” for two weeks, according to Fars, includes the following provisions: Guarantee that Iran will not be attacked again Permanent ceasefire rather than a temporary truce End to Israeli strikes on Lebanon Lifting all US sanctions against Iran Termination of military actions against Iran’s regional allies Reopening of the Strait of Hormuz Introduction of a $2 million transit fee per vessel Revenue-sharing with Oman Establishment of safe navigation rules in the strait Use of transit revenues for reconstruction, not reparations How the Ceasefire Agreement Was Reached According to Axios, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei instructed negotiators on April 6 to move toward a deal. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi played a key role, persuading commanders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to accept a compromise.
