According to Israel-based Channel 12 television, a one-month ceasefire with Iran is being planned as part of diplomatic contacts between the US and regional actors.
The report stated that the ceasefire would be announced within the framework of a mechanism being worked on by US officials Wittkov and Jared Kushner. During the ceasefire, the parties would continue negotiations for a comprehensive agreement, with a particular focus on a 15-point plan.
Details of the 15-point plan have also been leaked to regional media sources. According to these sources, the draft agreement includes the complete elimination of Iran’s current nuclear capabilities and a permanent abandonment of Tehran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons. The plan also stipulates the cessation of any nuclear enrichment activities on Iranian soil and the surrender of enriched uranium to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The decommissioning and destruction of critical nuclear facilities such as Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordow are also among the points.
The draft text emphasizes that Iran must provide the IAEA with full access to all information and facilities, while also stipulating that the country abandon its proxy force strategy in the region and cease funding and arms support to militia groups. Furthermore, maintaining the uninterrupted openness of the Strait of Hormuz is highlighted as a crucial aspect of regional security.
The agreement reportedly plans to postpone the final decision on the ballistic missile program, while allowing existing systems to be used solely for defensive purposes. In return, incentives such as the lifting of all sanctions against Iran and support for the development of a civilian nuclear program in Bushehr are also on the table. Furthermore, the plan automatically eliminates the threat of reimposition of sanctions.
