The administration of Donald Trump has sent Tehran a package of terms aimed at ending the conflict, according to Israel’s Channel 12. The plan includes a series of demands regarding Iran’s nuclear and missile programs, as well as incentives such as the lifting of sanctions.
The U.S. administration has set out a total of 15 conditions for Iran as a basis for ending the war, something the U.S. president himself also emphasized in statements yesterday. According to the report, these terms appear to cover the full range of strategic objectives of the United States and Israel as shaped within the context of the conflict.
However, the Israeli network notes that there is concern in Jerusalem that Donald Trump and his associates are seeking a rapid “framework agreement” — an agreement in principle — with Iran, rather than requiring full compliance with the specific demands before ending hostilities.
According to three sources familiar with the details, close associates of the president, including Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, have outlined a process involving “a one-month ceasefire, during which the two sides will negotiate a 15-point agreement,” modeled on previous agreements brokered by the Trump administration in Gaza and Lebanon.
Donald Trump stated yesterday that significant convergence has been achieved on many issues of a potential agreement, within the framework of indirect negotiations involving a key actor in Iran.
According to the report, “the scenario of a quick and vague agreement in principle is causing strong concern within Israel’s political and military leadership,” as there is a risk that Iran could gain an advantage if the conflict ends before the terms are fully finalized.
The report presents 14 of the 15 points of the demands and incentives reportedly conveyed to Tehran by Washington, citing a Western source.
