Iran expected to give official response to US on 14-point peace plan

Iran is reviewing the U.S. assessment of its 14-point proposal and is expected to issue an official response today, according to Pakistani diplomatic sources. Tehran had previously delivered the new proposal to Washington through Pakistan, which is acting as a mediator. Key points include a guarantee against renewed military aggression, payment of reparations by the U.S. military, and the establishment of a new management system for the Strait of Hormuz. The proposal aims to formally end hostilities and open a 30-day negotiation period to discuss Iran's nuclear program, sanctions relief, and safe passage through the strait. On May 2, President Donald Trump said he would review the new proposal but added that he could not imagine it would be acceptable.
