Iran submits 14-point counterproposal to U.S. for end to hostilities

Iran has submitted a 14-point counterproposal to the U.S., calling for a permanent end to hostilities and full U.S. troop withdrawal from the region. Delivered via Pakistani intermediaries, it responds to a U.S. plan for a two-month ceasefire, with Iran pushing for a 30-day timeline to resolve key issues.

Iran demands U.S. troop withdrawal near its borders, guarantees of non-aggression, and economic actions like lifting sanctions and releasing frozen assets. The proposal also calls for ending hostilities in Lebanon and establishing governance for the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. has not yet responded.
