Iran submits 14-point response to U.S. proposal to end war

Source: NPR

May 2, 20267:35 PM ET


Iran has submitted a 14-point response to the U.S. proposal to end the conflict that began with U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran on February 28, according to the semi-official Tasnim news agency and the state-owned media organization Press TV.

Key points of the plan include a demand to resolve all issues and end the war within 30 days, instead of observing a two-month ceasefire as the U.S. had proposed.

Other demands listed by the Iranian outlets include guarantees against future military aggression, the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iran's periphery, an end to the naval blockade, the release of frozen Iranian assets, payment of reparations, the lifting of sanctions, an end to fighting in Lebanon, and a new mechanism governing the Strait of Hormuz.

NPR has not independently verified the contents of the proposal. An Iranian official said Friday that the document had been handed to Pakistan, but did not disclose its terms. President Trump on Saturday said he is reviewing the new proposal, according to the Associated Press.

that they were already conducting under the JCPOA.

Trump has probably been told this, which is why he's priming his rubes to view "getting the dust" as a grand victory.

Generals came to him with tears in their eyes and said 'Sir! We are almost out of bullets and stuff!
We need 10 billion dollars and two months to restock!'

13. Trump gets richer every day the Strait is shut down

Remember IN January, Trump tried to cut in on Maduro's oil industry. Venezuela has the biggest proven oil reserves in the world. It isn't the highest quality, but it is the highest quantity. More than Saud. More than anybody else, and Trump wanted a piece of that.

Maduro wouldn't come across with a cut for Trump, so Trump took him out. The acting President immediately made a deal with Trump and started putting money for Trump in a Qatari account. This was widely reported, then it just disappeared from the news.

But here's the key piece. Within a week after striking that deal, Trump ordered the Pentagon to start moving assets to the Persian Gulf area. And now that Trump has closed the Strait of Hormuz, Venezuelan oil is in high demand -- the highest in a decade.
https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/international-business/oils-well-venezuelas-crude-exports-hit-highest-since-2018-india-us-and-other-buyers-line-up/articleshow/130714100.cms

There is every reason to believe that Trump is personally getting a cut from every drop of oil that Venezuela sells, with it all being deposited in Trump's offshore bank account. Yet nobody is even asking what is going on here.

Trump doesn't want to open the Strait. He makes more money the longer the Persian Gulf is shut down.

Wilson's Fourteen Points were a set of principles proposed by President Woodrow Wilson on January 8, 1918, aimed at establishing a framework for peace after World War I. They included open diplomacy, freedom of navigation, free trade, disarmament, self-determination for nations, and the creation of a League of Nations to ensure collective security.

Iranian officials, including advisor Mehdi Mohammadi, dismissed U.S. President Trump's April 2026 ceasefire extension, declaring that the "losing side cannot dictate terms".

Rejection of U.S. Terms: Iranian officials labelled the ceasefire extension a "ploy" and maintained that Iran will not accept dictated terms, according to as reported on WION and the Indian Express.

Their nuclear program will remain intact, the regime survives, the Strait of Hormuz will be at least partially controlled by Iran. And everyone will realize attacking Iran didn't work and they are free to build a nuclear weapon.
