Iran Sends Revised Ceasefire Plan To US; Trump To Assess With Advisors

Iran has sent a new ceasefire proposal to the United States, seeking to extend and deepen the fragile two‑week pause in hostilities that came into force earlier this month, according to media reports citing diplomatic sources. The proposal is said to be part of an intensified effort by Tehran to freeze the escalating conflict across the Middle East while negotiations proceed behind the scenes, even as Washington maintains strict conditions on issues such as the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and limits on Iran’s regional activities.

President Donald Trump is expected to review the Iranian proposal during a high‑level meeting at the White House, where senior security, intelligence, and diplomatic officials will assess whether the terms align with his reported “red lines” and overall goal of a broader peace agreement. Trump has repeatedly tied the continuation of the ceasefire and any long‑term deal to concrete Iranian concessions, including assurances on nuclear limitations, curbs on support for proxy groups, and the safe reopening of key maritime routes such as the Strait of Hormuz.

The current ceasefire, initially brokered at the last minute ahead of Trump’s self‑imposed deadline, has already been extended by a few days, indicating that both sides are keeping diplomatic channels open even amid sharp public rhetoric. Officials have told media that the White House is now weighing a “new” or “updated” proposal from Iran, which reportedly builds on earlier peace‑plan concepts floated by mediators such as Pakistan, but with fresh wording and sequencing to address Washington’s concerns.

Iran’s pitch appears focused on a phased de‑escalation: halting attacks on its forces, securing the withdrawal or reduction of U.S. military presence in the region, obtaining compensation for wartime damage, and securing international recognition of its sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for a pledge to keep the waterway open. Similar earlier proposals have been rejected or heavily criticized by Washington, meaning that any new Iranian text will likely undergo rigorous scrutiny at the White House before the U.S. signals whether it is ready to move toward a more permanent truce.

Analysts say that the outcome of the upcoming White House meeting could determine whether the existing ceasefire collapses or becomes the foundation for a more comprehensive peace framework. If Trump’s team judges that Iran’s new proposal is not sufficiently tough on security and nuclear issues, Washington could tighten pressure or resume limited military operations; if the president sees it as a credible basis for negotiation, it could open the door to direct or mediated talks aimed at ending one of the most dangerous confrontations in the region in years.
