War in the Middle East: Trump pushes through a peace plan, Tehran eases its grip on Ormuz.

Donald Trump has proposed a peace plan to Iran and expressed optimism about reaching an agreement, with Tehran indicating that it will allow non-hostile ships to pass through the strategic Strait of Hormuz on the 26th day of the war engulfing the Middle East.

Iran and the United States are negotiating to try to end the conflict, as reiterated by the American president. However, he also mentioned that American military operations against the Islamic Republic continue “relentlessly.”

The American press has also reported the deployment of 3,000 American paratroopers to the Middle East. The Israeli army has emphasized that it continues to act and strike, “according to an unchanged plan,” in Iran and Lebanon. Tehran has once again fired missiles towards Israel.

However, several media outlets, including the New York Times and the Israeli television channel Channel 12, suggest that the Trump administration has presented a 15-point peace plan to Iran through Pakistan, which maintains good relations with both parties.

According to three unidentified sources cited by Channel 12, the United States is proposing a one-month ceasefire to allow Iranian authorities to study their demands. Among these 15 points, some relate to Iran’s nuclear program, while others require the abandonment of support for “proxies” in the region, such as Hezbollah or Hamas, and emphasize the need to keep the Strait of Hormuz open for maritime navigation.

In return, Iran would receive a lifting of international sanctions against it and support for its civil nuclear program.

Iran specifically stated that “non-hostile ships” could “benefit from safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz in coordination with the competent authorities.”

Approximately 20% of the world’s hydrocarbon production passes through this strategic strait, and its blockade by Tehran in recent weeks has caused oil prices to soar.

Donald Trump mentioned on Tuesday “a very big gift” related to hydrocarbons, which could be linked to this partial opening of the strait. In response to these recent announcements, oil prices dropped by nearly 6% shortly after the Tokyo Stock Exchange opened.

The American president also reiterated that negotiations were taking place “at this moment” with Tehran.

– Who is the interlocutor in Iran? –

“What I said yesterday (Monday) was exactly right,” emphasized the American president, noting that his envoy Steve Witkoff, his son-in-law Jared Kushner, Vice President JD Vance, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio were all involved.

By disclosing these talks, Donald Trump postponed his threat to strike Iran’s electrical grid “by five days,” temporarily reassuring the markets. He praised Washington and Tehran for finding “major points of agreement” within the framework of negotiations held with a “high-ranking” Iranian leader.
