The 14-point draft plan published by Iran's semi-official Mehr News Agency outlines a comprehensive framework aimed at ending the US-Iran conflict. It demands a permanent end to hostilities, the withdrawal of US forces from the region, extensive sanctions relief, and the unfreezing of billions in Iranian assets.
Key provisions outlined in the framework include:
-
End of Hostilities:An immediate and permanent ceasefire across all fronts of the conflict, including Lebanon.
-
Sovereignty & Non-Interference:US guarantees to respect Iranian sovereignty, refrain from interfering in internal affairs, and avoid deploying additional military forces to the region.
-
Sanctions Relief & Asset Unfreezing:The suspension of primary and secondary US sanctions on Iranian oil, petrochemicals, and energy exports, along with the unfreezing of $24 billion in Iranian financial assets.
-
Maritime Access:The withdrawal of the US naval blockade within 30 days and the reopening/restoration of freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz under Iranian arrangements.
-
Economic Reconstruction:A proposal for a $300 billion reconstruction program funded by the US and its allies to restore Iranian infrastructure.
-
Nuclear Constraints:A commitment by Iran to refrain from producing nuclear weapons. Additionally, the scope of final negotiations is limited to enrichment and nuclear materials, specifically excluding discussions on Iran's regional alliances and missile programs.
-
Monitoring & Implementation:A 60-day negotiation timeline to formalize the agreement, establish a monitoring mechanism to ensure compliance, and obtain an endorsement via a UN Security Council resolution.
