The comprehensive 15-point plan submitted by the US to Iran, aimed at ending the war, is causing significant discussion in the international arena. Bloomberg, citing sources, reports that the main part of this document - 12 points - consists of Washington's requirements, while the remaining 3 points consist of certain privileges granted to Tehran.
According to the plan, the strategically important Strait of Hormuz will remain open and will be retained as a zone of free navigation for international ships. At the same time, it was proposed to introduce serious restrictions on the number of Iranian ballistic missiles and their range. It is stipulated that these weapons should be used only for defensive purposes.
One of the most important requirements is Iran's complete renunciation of its nuclear program. The document provides for the cessation of uranium enrichment, the gradual transfer of existing highly enriched reserves to international control, and the complete closure and dismantling of large nuclear facilities such as Fordou, Isfahan, and Natanz. In addition, it was emphasized that Tehran should ensure full transparency and open the way for independent international inspections.
The plan also put forward a number of other political and military demands. In particular, Iran was required to abandon the practice of operating through various regional proxy groups and completely stop financing and supporting them. It was also noted that Tehran should officially declare the end of the war.
In turn, the US side also proposed to provide some concessions to Iran. In particular, it was promised to lift sanctions, abandon the mechanism for their reintroduction, and provide assistance in the development of civilian nuclear energy based on the Busher facility.
However, sources say that Tehran did not accept this plan and rejected it. This indicates the possibility of further aggravation of the complex geopolitical situation in the Middle East.
According to observers, the disagreements between the parties may continue for a long time. Therefore, there is a high probability that diplomatic negotiations will become more active in the coming days or, conversely, conflicts will intensify.
