According to Iranian state media, Tehran’s 14-point plan called for Washington to lift its naval blockade of Iranian ports, remove its forces from areas close to the bordwers of Iran, and put an end to all conflicts, including Israel’s offensive in Lebanon.
Additionally, it stipulated that a deal between the two nations must be concluded within thirty days.
The proposal, according to Iranian state media, called on the two opposing factions to concentrate on “ending the war” instead of prolonging the existing ceasefire.

Iranian state media said Tehran’s 14-point plan asked Washington to withdraw its forces from near Iran’s borders, end its naval blockade of Iranian ports, and for all hostilities to cease – including Israel’s offensive in Lebanon.
It also called for an agreement between the two countries to be reached within 30 days.
Iranian state media added the proposal urged the two warring sides to focus on “ending the war” rather than extending a current ceasefire.
In a post on Truth Social late on Saturday, Trump made reference to the plan, saying, “They have not yet paid a big enough price for what they have done to Humanity, and the World, over the last 47 years.”
In an interview with reporters that same day in Palm Beach, Florida, he stated that he had not yet thoroughly reviewed the plan.
“They told me about the concept of the deal,” he said. “They’re going to give me the exact wording now.”
Asked by the BBC about whether military strikes against targets inside Iran could be renewed, Trump said it was “a possibility”.
“If they misbehave. If they do something bad,” he said. “But right now we’ll see.”
The US president appeared disinclined to withdraw from the conflict entirely, saying “we’re not leaving” and “we’re going to do it, so nobody has to go back in two years or five years”.
The Iranian state-linked agencies said Tehran’s latest proposal was in response to a nine-point US plan, which envisaged a two-month ceasefire.
Trump wrote to members of the US Congress on Friday, arguing he did not need to meet a deadline for legislative approval of the war as the conflict had been “terminated” since a ceasefire took effect on 8 April, pausing the clock on any such obligation.
The ongoing blockade of Iranian ports, he claimed, did not represent a continuation of the conflict.
By law, a US president must receive the approval of Congress within 60 days of notifying lawmakers of military action, or else cease hostilities.
Friday was the 60th day since Trump formally notified Congress of strikes against Iran on 2 March, two days after the US and Israel launched their attacks.
During a series of public remarks on Friday, Trump also repeated his refrain that “Iran can never have a nuclear weapon”.
