I don’t know. It’s all very unclear. Trump has shown himself to be such a bald faced manipulative liar.. You just can’t trust a single thing he says. My suspicion is Trump’s “peace plan” is for domestic consumption, but, I could be wrong.
*Iran has rejected a US proposal to pause the Gulf war, but what are their demands?
Iran has rejected the Donald Trump administration’s 15-point plan aimed at pausing the war in the country, which has spread across the Middle East, calling it “unreasonable” and maintaining that it would end the war on its terms.
The plan includes 15 demands, though Washington has not revealed specific details. The proposal, according to two officials familiar with the matter, addresses Iran’s missile programme and maritime routes concerning the Strait of Hormuz, which has been effectively closed by Tehran as retaliation for US and Israeli strikes.
No details, unnamed officials
Tehran confirmed on Wednesday that it had received the proposal, after reports said earlier that Pakistan had delivered it. The South Asian country has also put itself forward as a possible host for peace talks.
Pakistani officials familiar (unnamed) with the matter said the proposal broadly touches on sanctions relief, civilian nuclear cooperation, a rollback on Iran’s nuclear programme, frequent monitoring by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), missile limits, and shipping access through the Strait of Hormuz.
Israel has been more specific.. which begs the question..
Israel’s Channel 12, however, released the following components, which include a 30-day ceasefire, a permanent commitment from Iran to never develop nuclear weapons, and the dismantling of the Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordow nuclear facilities, which were hit during the 12-Day war in June 2025 by the US.
The Israeli broadcaster also listed the handover of Iran’s stockpile of already enriched uranium to the IAEA, and a commitment allowing the agency to monitor all elements of the country’s remaining nuclear infrastructure. Iran must also no longer enrich uranium within the country.
It also demands an end to strikes on regional facilities, in reference to attacks in the Gulf, an end of support to regional proxies, and the provision of US support for electricity generation at the Bushehr civil nuclear plant.
(Russia built and is heavily involved with the running of Busherhr plant) Of course the US and Israel keep targeting it.
Russia built the existing nuclear plant at Bushehr and Rosatom is constructing additional units there, although it has suspended building work since the United States and Israel launched a war with Iran last month.
This signals trouble for Trump..
*Democrat flips Republican-held Florida state House district that includes Trump’s Mar-a-Lago

Below is an assortment of news articles covering the attack on Iran
How about that obvious stock market manipulation..
*Suspicious bets placed on US/ Iran strikes trigger insider trading concerns
Before financial markets opened in the United States on March 25, the US president stepped back from a threat to target Iranian energy sites.
But 15 minutes before Trump's statement, thousands of oil contracts were traded - meaning anyone who placed bet on crude prices dropping would have made a lot of money. It's raising questions on if anyone acted on insider knowledge.
*More Than 600 Schools Damaged, 282 Medical Facilities Struck in Iran as Result of U.S. and Israeli Attacks
*French far-right leader Marine Le Pen said on Wednesday that the US has “clearly made a mistake” in attacking Iran, Anadolu reports.
“What I see is that the United States clearly made a mistake, thinking the Iranian regime would fall within a few days. It has not fallen. The Iranian regime is extremely strong,” Le Pen, head of the National Rally (RN), told France Inter radio.
She said Trump’s war goals are “erratic” and questioned the ultimate objective of the conflict, adding that “no one knows” what he seeks to achieve.
Le Pen underscored that the war has affected several Gulf countries and caused a heavy imbalance in energy supplies.
*Most Americans say US action in Iran has gone too far and worry about rising gas prices as Trump’s foreign policy faces growing criticism.
*Trump halted Iran escalation after Gulf states warned of regional catastrophe
Trump’s pause pointed to two possible trajectories. One is tactical, buying time to complete deployments and test Iran’s response. The other is strategic, using de-escalation to prepare the ground for a broader deal.
*Russia received no information on reported plan
Spokesman Peskov says Russia does not know how reliable US newspaper’s report is, adding it is ‘impossible to judge anything’ until official sources confirm it
*What do we know of the US’s 15-point peace plan sent to Iran?
Donald Trump says he has a 15-point plan that has been offered to Iran to bring an end to the war. But details remain vague and Trump’s claims of progress in talks have been dismissed by Tehran
*US Sends Up to 3,000 Elite 82nd Airborne Troops to Middle East, Ground War Concerns Rise
The US is deploying elite 82nd Airborne troops to the Middle East, boosting forces to nearly 60,000 as options for a potential ground operation against Iran are considered.
*Potential Partners on the Ground in Iran – Kurds
The Prospect of Partnership
In the Iranian Kurdish opposition groups, the United States could have a strong partner ground force, but there are important limitations to what they could achieve. Kurdish opposition groups could support U.S. war aims by disrupting and denying the regime’s use of the Iranian Kurdistan region. U.S.-Israeli strikes have already targeted numerous regime installations in the region, and a partner ground force could be a force multiplier for these efforts, attacking other targets or providing intelligence assistance. With proper support and sufficient mobilization, they could also defend territory in Iranian Kurdistan.
Like the SDF, Iranian Kurdish opposition groups will need U.S. support to operate against the regime in Iran. This support could involve airstrikes and intelligence to aid partner ground forces, as well as some training and funding to upgrade their combat power. The United States has achieved significant success in previous conflicts when partnering with irregular forces, including the SDF, the Afghan Northern Alliance, Iraqi tribal groups, and the Iraqi Peshmerga.

One reply on “Trump’s Iran Peace Plan- Does one actually exist?”
Penny. It all reminds me what went down just before the invasion of Iraq–22 years ago now. So very similar. All kinds of diplomatic distractions regarding “negotiations”. But, it inexorably led up to the “Shock and Awe” weekend where they said they defeated Saddam. Just a day or so ago–all the American troops vacated Iraq [their bases all having been destroyed by Iran]. The stunning news that the Americans were forced out of Iraq has gone virtually unnoticed–all gone–after massive death and destruction. Now the same thing will happen to Iran.
