The war between Iran, Israel and the United States does not seem to see an end. Far from accepting a provisional truce, Tehran has rejected the 45-day ceasefire proposal presented by Pakistan, Egypt and Turkey and has put on the table its own plan to end the conflict, raising the bar for negotiations and complicating any immediate agreement.
As reported this Monday by the official agency Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA), the Islamic Republic has conveyed its response to Washington through Pakistan, a country that acts as an interlocutor in the conflict, in the form of a ten-point proposal. The Iranian position is clear: there will be no temporary pauses, only a definitive end to the war.
But the response of the American president, Donald Trump, has not been long in coming. The magnate has recognized that the Iranian proposal represents "a significant step", but has made it clear that it is not enough. "Iran can be eliminated in one night and it could be Tuesday", Trump has threatened, reminding Tehran of the ultimatum imposed by the White House, whose deadline expires that day.
Although there is no public official document with the ten points broken down, international agencies have put on the table a series of key conditions that structure that Iranian offer, focused on sovereignty, economic reparation, and regional security. What does that proposal sent by Tehran consist of?
No to a truce: Tehran demands a total closure of the conflict
The core of the Iranian proposal breaks with the mediators' strategy. In contrast to a time-limited truce, Tehran considers that a 45-day ceasefire is "illogical" and does not guarantee real stability.
The Islamic Republic argues that any agreement must involve the total cessation of hostilities, thus avoiding a short-term reactivation of the conflict. With this, it seeks to force a broader negotiation that addresses the deep causes of the war and not just its immediate consequences through a broader agreement that involves actors indirectly related to the conflict.
Sanctions and security, Iran's red lines
One of the central pillars of the plan involves the lifting of economic sanctions imposed by Washington, a demand that Tehran considers non-negotiable.
Along with this, it demands firm security guarantees that prevent new attacks in the future. Iran insists that it will not negotiate under military threat and demands international commitments that shield its territorial integrity.
This approach elevates the ceasefire proposal to an attempt to redefine the strategic balance in the region.
Ormuz and the reconstruction of the region
The document also incorporates key demands regarding the economic and energy field. Tehran raises the need to initiate reconstruction processes after the bombings and opens the door to economic compensation.
In addition, it introduces a particularly sensitive element: a security protocol for the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's main energy corridors. Its control has been one of the triggers of the current crisis and remains a critical point for global stability.
Up to now, Tehran has firmly rejected any negotiation that implies a temporary pause in the conflict, fearing that a limited ceasefire would only open the door to a restart of the war within a few months. Recent history reinforces this distrust. In June 2025, during the 12-day war, Israel and the United States attacked key positions in Iran, eliminating a large part of the Persian military leadership.
Since then, the Iranian regime has invested efforts in reorganizing its military apparatus, developing a more horizontal and resilient command system, designed so that the elimination of its leaders does not compromise its defense capability nor its offensive potential in the Gulf region.
