Iran has circulated a 10-point ceasefire proposal after US President Donald Trump declared what he called a “total and complete victory” over the country.
On Tuesday (April 7), Washington and Tehran agreed to a two-week ceasefire, contingent on the ‘complete, immediate, and safe opening of the Strait of Hormuz’.
“I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks,” Trump, 79, wrote via his social media site, Truth Social.
Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araqchi said Tehran would halt counter-attacks and pause its blockade of oil and gas flows through the strait, enabling safe passage for vessels, according to Reuters.
Reuters also reported that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office backed the US decision to pause strikes on Iran, while adding that the ceasefire would not extend to Lebanon.
That account differed from comments by Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who said the ceasefire applied ‘everywhere, including Lebanon’.
In its statement, Netanyahu’s office said it supported US efforts aimed at ensuring Iran no longer represented a nuclear, missile or ‘terror’ threat.
“This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE!” Trump typed amid the agreement.
“The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all Military objectives, and are very far along with a definitive Agreement concerning Longterm PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East.”
Speaking to French news agency AFP, the father-of-five described the deal as a ‘total and complete victory’ for the United States.
“100 percent. No question about it,” he said, later posting on Truth Social that it was a ‘big day for World Peace’.
“Iran wants it to happen, they’ve had enough! Likewise, so has everyone else!”
Iran’s Supreme National Security Council offered a sharply different assessment, saying: “The enemy has suffered an undeniable, historic and crushing defeat in its cowardly, illegal and criminal war against the Iranian nation. Iran achieved a great victory.”
Trump also said the US had received a 10-point conditional cease-fire proposal from Iran, calling it a ‘workable basis on which to negotiate’.
“Almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran, but a two week period will allow the Agreement to be finalised and consummated,” he wrote on Truth Social.
According to the BBC, an Iranian state broadcaster laid out details of the plan, starting with a demand for a ‘complete cessation’ of the fighting in Lebanon, as well as in Iraq and Yemen.
Lebanon was drawn into the conflict after Hezbollah fired rockets at Israel in a show of support for Tehran, The Guardian reported.
The Israeli offensive in Lebanon has killed at least 1,500 people and displaced 1.2 million others.
Iran’s proposal also calls for a ‘complete and permanent cessation of the war on Iran with no time limit’.
Officials said hostilities had continued for nearly 40 days before the temporary pause was announced.
The document further lists an end to all regional conflicts and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Another section focuses specifically on the waterway, through which about 25 percent of global oil trade passes.
The BBC said Iran also wants to set out ‘a protocol and conditions to ensure freedom and security of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz’.
Following the blockade, gas prices in the US increased, and analysts have warned costs could remain elevated even with the ceasefire.
Tehran is additionally seeking full payment of compensation to cover reconstruction costs.
Before the cease-fire was agreed, Trump said he would target Iranian infrastructure and threatened to bomb the country ‘back to the Stone Ages’.
Reports said US and Israeli strikes hit at least two steel plants, three bridges, and other infrastructure sites.
Within the 10-point proposal, Iran asks for the removal of all primary and secondary sanctions.
Sanctions.io says these measures are intended to make it ‘difficult for Iran to sell their oil globally’ and are designed to impede the development of a nuclear weapon.
The Congressional Research Service has said roughly $2 billion of Iranian assets are currently frozen in the United States.
Iran’s plan calls for those frozen assets and funds to be released.
The second-to-last point states Iran would fully commit to ‘not seeking possession of any nuclear weapons’.
“Immediate ceasefire takes effect on all fronts immediately upon approval of the above conditions,” was the final item listed.
The Guardian reported a Farsi version included wording about ‘acceptance of enrichment for its nuclear program being included.
That version was also posted on X by the Iranian Embassy in India.
You started the war, but Iran will set the conditions for its end.
Iran's 10-point conditions that the US has accepted as "workable":
The US is fundamentally committed to:
🔹 Non-aggression
🔹 Continuation of Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz
🔹 Acceptance of enrichment…— Iran in India (@Iran_in_India) April 8, 2026
The report said this wording was absent from English versions that Iranian diplomats shared with journalists.
Sharif, who helped mediate the pause in fighting, has invited US, Israeli and Iranian leaders to new talks in Islamabad.
“We earnestly hope that the ‘Islamabad Talks’ succeed in achieving sustainable peace and wish to share more good news in coming days!,” he wrote via X, formerly known as Twitter.
CNN reported the Trump administration is now preparing for possible face-to-face negotiations.
