Iran Submits 14-Point Peace Proposal — Demands Hormuz Unblocking, Full Sanctions Relief, and Withdrawal Within 30 Days

Iran submitted a formal 14-point response to the US proposal to end the conflict on May 2, 2026 — Day 64 — transmitted through Pakistani mediators in Islamabad. Iran's proposal was notably more expansive than the Hormuz-first framework it had floated on May 1: it demanded the US lift its naval blockade, withdraw all US forces from the region, release all frozen Iranian assets, pay war reparations, lift all sanctions, and end military operations on all fronts including Lebanon — all within 30 days rather than the US-proposed two-month ceasefire window. Iran's Foreign Ministry confirmed the submission. The proposal was described by Al Jazeera as Iran's most comprehensive peace terms to date, consolidating earlier five-point and Hormuz-first frameworks into a single document. Pakistan's mediators called the Iranian submission a serious basis for negotiation. Iran framed the 30-day timeline as a confidence-building measure, arguing a shorter window reduced the risk of either side using talks as cover to rebuild military capacity. US officials privately characterized the proposal as requiring significant renegotiation on nuclear terms before any formal response would be issued. The ceasefire that began April 8 remained nominally in effect on Day 64, but the IRGC warned separately on the same day that resumed conflict was 'possible' if no deal was reached.
