Iran has put forward a detailed 14-point proposal aimed at ending ongoing hostilities within a 30-day timeframe, rejecting a US-backed plan that called for a two-month ceasefire, according to a report.
The proposal was delivered to Washington through a Pakistani intermediary and represents Tehran’s formal response to an earlier US plan. While the American framework focused on a temporary halt in fighting, Iran has instead advocated for a broader and more permanent resolution that addresses the root causes of the conflict.
At the core of Iran’s plan is the demand that all major disputes be resolved within a month, rather than prolonging the situation through an interim truce. Tehran has linked any cessation of hostilities to a set of wider political, economic, and security conditions, signalling its reluctance to accept a short-term ceasefire without guarantees.
Among the key elements outlined in the proposal are assurances against future military action by the United States and its allies, as well as the withdrawal of US forces from areas surrounding Iran. Tehran has also called for an end to what it describes as a naval blockade, which has significantly impacted its economy.

Economic demands form a substantial part of the proposal. Iran has sought the release of its frozen financial assets, the lifting of international sanctions, and compensation in the form of reparations. These issues have long been central to tensions between Tehran and Washington and remain critical to any potential agreement.
The development comes amid ongoing diplomatic efforts to stabilise the region, where a fragile ceasefire has failed to resolve deeper disagreements. By rejecting a temporary pause in favour of a comprehensive settlement, Iran has signalled its intention to pursue a more far-reaching agreement, even as uncertainty continues over whether the two sides can bridge their differences.
