US and Iran Discuss Peace Plan Amid Ongoing Ceasefire

The United States is awaiting a response from Iran regarding a proposed peace plan to end the conflict between the two nations, coming 33 days into a current ceasefire.

The proposed 14-article plan involves a three-stage process. This includes declaring the end of the war, reactivating the Strait of Hormuz, and a one-month period of negotiations to finalize political and nuclear agreements.

Under the terms of the plan, Iran would be required to halt uranium enrichment for 12 years, provide guarantees against the development of nuclear weapons, and hand over 440 kilograms of 60% enriched uranium. In return, the United States would release frozen Iranian assets and lift blockades on seaports.

US President Donald Trump stated that Tehran remains interested in reaching an agreement. However, Iranian army spokesperson Mohammad Akbari-Minia expressed deep mistrust of the "enemy" during the ceasefire, noting that Iran has strengthened its military capabilities.

While Russia has called for a swift conclusion to the conflict, reports indicate that Israel is constructing a secret base in Iraq to support air attacks on Iran.
