Iran’s ceasefire proposal includes a commitment to non-aggression from the US, controlled passage through the Strait of Hormuz in coordination with the Iranian armed forces, acceptance of Iran’s nuclear enrichment program, the lifting of all primary and secondary sanctions and resolutions against Iran, the end of all resolutions against Iran at the International Atomic Energy Agency and the UN Security Council, the withdrawal of US combat forces from all bases in the region, full compensation for damages suffered by Iran during the war — to be secured through payments to Iran by ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, the release of all Iranian assets and properties frozen abroad, and the ratification of all these matters in a binding UNSC resolution.
Since the ceasefire announcement, neither the US leader nor his administration has made any mention of key sticking points mentioned in the 10-point plan, including lifting of US sanctions, releasing frozen Iranian assets, continued control over the Strait of Hormuz or withdrawing US military forces from the region. Nor has the US mentioned Iran’s ballistic missile capabilities.
The ceasefire plan also allows for both Iran and Oman to charge fees on ships transiting through the water passageway, AP news agency reported, quoting an unnamed regional official.
The immediate next step is the start of negotiations in Islamabad, where US and Iranian officials are expected to meet under Pakistani mediation.
