Washington/Tehran: US President Donald Trump has played the biggest diplomatic gamble so far to stop the horrific war that has been going on in the Middle East for the last three weeks. According to the report of Israel’s ‘Channel 12’, the Trump administration has presented a 15-point peace plan to Iran. The main objective of this proposal is to implement a one-month ceasefire, so that both sides can come to the table for a permanent and historic agreement. The shocking thing is that Pakistan is playing the role of mediator in this entire conversation.
Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff’s ‘secret’ planning
This peace proposal has been prepared by Trump’s trusted special envoy Steve Witkoff and his son-in-law Jared Kushner. This plan, delivered to Tehran through Pakistan, contains conditions that could change the direction of Iran’s military and nuclear infrastructure.
Main terms of Trump’s 15-point plan
The Trump administration has put forward ‘strict’ surrender conditions for Iran in exchange for this agreement:
Nuclear Surrender: Iran will have to completely dismantle its current nuclear capabilities and give a written guarantee that it will not produce nuclear weapons in the future.
Depletion of Uranium: The stockpile of about 450 kg of uranium enriched up to 60% will have to be handed over to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
Destruction of bases: Strategic nuclear centers like Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow will have to be completely destroyed.
Strait of Hormuz: It will be essential to keep this sea route always open for global oil trade.
Missile and Proxy War: There will be limits on the range of missiles and economic and military support to regional groups (proxies) will have to be stopped.
What will Iran get in return? ‘Carrot and stick’ policy
The Trump administration has promised Iran a ‘promiscuous future’ if it accepts these tough conditions:
Freedom from restrictions: All international and US economic sanctions imposed on Iran will be immediately and completely lifted.
Economic Sanjeevani: America itself will provide technical and financial support for civilian nuclear energy in plants like ‘Bushhar’.
Security Guarantee: The ‘snapback’ mechanism (automatic imposition of sanctions) will be abolished forever.
Trouble in Israel and Iran’s ‘no’
This sudden proposal by Trump has created tension within Israel. The Israeli leadership fears that Trump will stop the war without completely weakening Iran in the name of a ‘deal’, due to which Iran may raise its head again in the future.
On the other hand, Tehran has still officially denied any talks. Iran has given a clear warning that if attacks on its energy centers do not stop, it will target the oil infrastructure of the entire Gulf Region.
