The United States has reportedly transmitted a rigorous 15-point peace proposal to Tehran via Pakistani intermediaries, demanding the total decommissioning of Iran’s nuclear facilities and the abandonment of its regional proxy model in exchange for the lifting of all economic sanctions.
Details of a comprehensive 15-point proposal from the United States aimed at resolving the month-long conflict with Iran have emerged following reports from Reuters and The New York Times. The plan, which was reportedly conveyed to Tehran through Pakistani intermediaries, outlines a series of stringent conditions for a permanent cessation of hostilities. While The Guardian UK notes that the extent of the plan’s dissemination among Iran’s fractured leadership remains uncertain, the proposal represents the most detailed diplomatic roadmap since the conflict began on February 28. Central to the framework is the total dismantling of Iran’s nuclear capabilities, the decommissioning of the Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordow facilities, and a mandate that “all enriched materials are to be delivered to Saba according to a schedule established by the US, Israel and Iran.”
The proposal, as detailed by Israel’s Channel 12 News, also targets Iran’s regional military posture and maritime influence. It demands that Iran “abandon its proxy model” and immediately halt the funding and arming of various groups across the Middle East. Furthermore, the plan seeks to secure global energy markets by requiring that “the Strait of Hormuz will remain open as a free maritime zone, unobstructed in the future,” while placing strict limitations on the range and quantity of Iran’s missile arsenal. Under the “snapback-free” agreement, any future use of Iranian missiles would be restricted “solely for self-defense purposes,” moving the region away from the kinetic exchanges that have characterized the last several weeks.
In exchange for these significant concessions, the United States offers a path toward economic and energy reconstruction. The framework explicitly states that “all sanctions imposed on Iran will be lifted,” providing a potential lifeline to an Iranian economy currently reeling from intense aerial strikes and financial isolation. Additionally, the U.S. and Israel have offered a collaborative olive branch regarding energy, noting they “will support Iran in promoting and developing a civil nuclear project in Bushehr for electricity generation.” While the “snapback” threat—a mechanism for the automatic re-imposition of sanctions—would be eliminated, the proposal remains a “take-it-or-leave-it” foundation for negotiations that could either secure a historic peace or trigger a final escalation.
