Iranian outlets said Tehran sent the plan via Pakistan, and Trump, speaking before boarding Air Force One and later in Florida, said exact wording was still being reviewed.
The proposal reportedly seeks US troop withdrawals near Iran, sanctions relief, release of frozen assets, compensation and an end to fighting, while Trump said further military action remained possible.

The 2026 U.S.-Iran Conflict: Economic Collapse, Military Strikes, and Fragile Ceasefire
Overview
In early 2026, a U.S.-Israeli strike killed Iran's Supreme Leader, sparking a deadly regional war and global economic disruption. Iran faced severe sanctions and internal protests, which were violently suppressed, prompting the U.S. to build up military forces. After a fragile ceasefire mediated by Pakistan, Iran proposed a 14-point peace plan demanding U.S. withdrawal, sanctions relief, and control of the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump rejected these terms, insisting on dismantling Iran's nuclear program. The ongoing U.S. naval blockade and regional tensions have driven oil prices up, creating political pressure in the U.S. Meanwhile, humanitarian concerns rose as Nobel laureate Narges Mohammadi's health worsened in Iranian custody. Despite mediation efforts, deep mistrust and incompatible demands keep peace elusive.
