Trump Claims Iran Agreed to 'Most' of Peace Plan; Floats Seizure of Kharg Island

President Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on March 29, 2026 that Iran had agreed to 'most of' his 15-point peace plan, delivered through Pakistani intermediaries. Quote: 'They gave us most of the points. Why wouldn't they? They're agreeing with us on the plan.' Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi countered that the exchange of messages 'does not mean negotiations with the U.S.,' and Tehran submitted a counterproposal demanding a full halt to US-Israeli 'aggression and assassinations' and recognition of Iranian sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz. Trump separately raised the prospect of seizing Kharg Island — which handles approximately 90% of Iran's oil exports — telling the Financial Times: 'Maybe we take Kharg Island, maybe we don't. We have a lot of options.' Pakistan Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar announced Islamabad would 'host and facilitate meaningful talks between the two sides in coming days,' publicly expanding Pakistan's confirmed mediator role beyond message relay.
