Iran's 10-Point Proposal Demands an End to Attacks and Sanctions
Source: NYT
Iran on Monday delivered a 10-point proposal to end the war with the United States and Israel, according to Iranian state media. The plan was conveyed by Pakistan, which has been acting as a primary intermediary in the conflict, but appeared unlikely to resolve major questions ahead of President Trump’s Tuesday evening deadline for new attacks on Iran.
Two senior Iranian officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive negotiations, said the proposal included a guarantee that Iran would not be attacked again, an end to Israeli strikes against Hezbollah in Lebanon and the lifting of all sanctions.
In return, Iran would lift its de facto blockade of the key shipping route through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran would also impose a fee of roughly $2 million per ship that it would split with Oman, which sits across the strait. Iran would use its share of the proceeds to reconstruct infrastructure destroyed by American and Israeli attacks, rather than demand direct compensation, according to the plan.

Trump ‘didn’t have good options’ but to take the ceasefire deal, analyst says
“He was talking a big game about escalatory steps, but everyone in the region knew that if you go after Iran’s energy resources and power plants, the Iranians would retaliate against GCC states and we would have a much, much worse energy crisis than we have now,” Parsi said.
“He needed to get out of this. He made his threats earlier today to give the appearance that an agreement he would come to by this evening was done on his terms,” Parsi noted.
“But when you actually look at it, it appears that we wasn’t. Even his own statement said that the negotiations will be based on the 10-point plan of the Iranians, which is a much more reasonable plan.”

When you're out of cards to play, you're out of cards. Iran still had cards.
Donnie got himself backed into an untenable position. Wonder if he'll stop listening to Bibi?
