Kochi: The United States and Iran are expected to hold ceasefire talks on Friday to discuss a long-term settlement.
Israel and Iran have agreed to a 14 day ceasefire brokered by Pakistan, Reuters reported.
US President Donald Trump had previously suggested a 15-point plan which was rejected by Iran.
On the other hand Iran’s 10-point
proposals include a demand to enrich uranium, which Washington previously ruled out. The 10 points also do not address Iran’s missile capabilities, which Israel and the U.S. have both said must be dramatically curtailed.
Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced the ceasefire between Iran and the United States on X.
In a post on his Truth Social, Trump said U.S. forces would suspend strikes on Iran for two weeks subject to the Islamic Republic agreeing to “the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz”.
According to Israeli sources, Trump’s 15-point proposal, previously sent to Iran via Pakistan, called for removing Iran’s stocks of highly enriched uranium, halting enrichment, curbing its ballistic missile programme and cutting off funding for regional allies.
Iran’s Supreme National Security Council said in a statement that Washington had agreed to accept Iran’s 10-point plan and that “the United States has, in principle, committed to”:
Israel said it had agreed to a ceasefire with Iran, but said the deal did not include halting military action in Lebanon.
