Donald Trump has proposed a peace plan with Iran and expressed optimism on Tuesday about the chances of reaching an agreement, Tehran indicating on its part that it will allow non-hostile ships to pass through the strategic Strait of Hormuz, on the 26th day of the war engulfing the Middle East.
Iran and the United States are negotiating to try to put an end to the conflict, the American president reiterated, but American military operations against the Islamic Republic continue “relentlessly,” he added.
The American press also mentions the dispatch of 3,000 American paratroopers as reinforcements to the Middle East. The Israeli army also emphasized that it continues to act and strike, “according to an unchanged plan,” in Iran and Lebanon, and Tehran once again sent missiles towards Israel.
However, several media outlets, including the New York Times and the Israeli television channel Channel 12, report that the Trump administration has presented a 15-point peace plan to Iran through Pakistan, which maintains good relations with both parties.

According to three unidentified sources cited by Channel 12, the United States is proposing a one-month ceasefire for Iranian authorities to study their demands. Among these 15 points, five concern the Iranian nuclear program, others require the abandonment of support for “proxies” in the region, such as Hezbollah or Hamas, and one point insists that the Strait of Hormuz remains open to maritime navigation.
