What is Iran's 10-point peace plan - and what has Trump said?

Wednesday, 8 April 2026 15:30

Donald Trump says the US has received a "workable" peace plan from Iran after the two countries agreed to a two-week ceasefire, labelling it a "complete victory" for his nation.

A 10-point plan shared by Iranian media is "maximalist" and "wildly undeliverable", Sky News' US correspondents Mark Stone and Martha Kelner have said, adding it would prove a "massive strategic defeat" for the US.

But Mr Trump has alluded to an extended 15-point plan which has different points to those outlined by Iran.

The US president also told Stone in a phone call that many of the points were "very good" and that most had already been fully negotiated.

Below you can see Iran's proposed peace plan, in which Tehran demands the total withdrawal of all US forces from the Middle East and complete control of the Strait of Hormuz - through which a fifth of the world's liquified natural gas and crude oil typically flows.

The strait, which Tehran didn't have full control of before the war began, has been blocked by Iran for weeks.

What are both sides saying about the plan?

Iran's president Masoud Pezeshkian claims the "general principles desired by Iran" have been accepted by the US.

In a phone call with Mr Trump on Tuesday night, Stone suggested the points seen in Iran's peace plan were unrealistic.

"You don't know what the points are," the president responded.

"I know what the points are. And many of them are very good points. I can't talk about it… but all of them are good points," he told Stone.

"This is important," Stone explained after the call. "The president was disputing the Iranian position, suggesting that the points he is prepared to negotiate on are not the maximalist demands Iran is claiming form their negotiating position.

"He also said the negotiations are well developed - 'fully negotiated' - despite claims the two sides are miles apart."

Stone suggests someone - either on the US or Iran side - "isn't being straight".

On his Truth Social platform on Wednesday afternoon, Mr Trump alluded to the extended 15-point plan, and said he had rejected one of Iran's key points: the country's right to enrich.

He said the US would "work closely" with Iran but "there will be no enrichment of Uranium".

He reiterated that many of the points "have already been agreed to" and said Washington would be "talking Tariff and Sanctions relief" with Tehran.

What's happening now?

The two-week ceasefire is in place, despite Mr Trump threatening "a whole civilisation will die tonight" a day before it came into effect, as he tried to force Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Some of the ceasefire's details are not clear.

Israel, which stopped firing at Iran after a final round of extensive strikes overnight between Tuesday and Wednesday, has said the ceasefire does not include Lebanon, which contradicts claims by Shehbaz Sharif, the Pakistani prime minister, who said the pause on hostilities did include the country.

Pictures from Wednesday morning showed huge plumes of smoke rising from the Lebanese city of Tyre after fresh Israeli strikes, which came after its forces issued evacuation notices to residents living in certain suburbs of the city.

Pakistan has acted as an intermediary in the war, and has offered to host both sides for talks, beginning on Friday in Islamabad.

It could be the first face-to-face interaction between US and Iranian officials since the start of the conflict at the end of February.
