Iran has submitted a 14-point response [1] to a cease-fire proposal offered by the United States to end the ongoing conflict.
This diplomatic exchange follows approximately 60 days [4] of war, which began after U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran on Feb. 28, 2026 [3]. The outcome of these negotiations will determine whether the two nations move toward a diplomatic resolution or continue military operations.
President Donald Trump said to reporters Saturday he is reviewing the new 14-point peace proposal [1]. The Iranian submission serves as a counter-offer to a 15-point cease-fire proposal [2] previously extended by the U.S. government.
Trump's reaction to the document has been mixed. While he confirmed he is reviewing the text, he also said, "I'm not satisfied with Iran's latest proposal" [5]. Other reports indicate the president is waiting for the exact wording of the plan before making a final decision.
According to the Tasnim News Agency, the 14-point response was designed specifically to address the terms of the U.S. proposal to end the conflict [1]. The negotiations are taking place as both nations weigh the costs of a prolonged war, a conflict that has persisted since the February strikes.
Trump has previously indicated he is reviewing military options to relaunch the war if a satisfactory agreement is not reached [6]. The current diplomatic window remains open as Washington analyzes the specific demands outlined in Tehran's response.
“"I'm not satisfied with Iran's latest proposal."”
The transition from a 15-point U.S. proposal to a 14-point Iranian response suggests a narrowing of terms, but the discrepancy in President Trump's reactions indicates a significant gap between the two parties. Because the conflict began with direct strikes on Iranian soil, any viable cease-fire likely requires concessions on sovereignty and military presence that neither side has yet publicly accepted.
