Iran Submits New Peace Proposal as Trump Expresses Skepticism

May 3, 2026

Iran has submitted a revised 14-point peace proposal to end its conflict with the United States, calling for binding non-aggression guarantees, US force withdrawal from the region, asset unfreezing, sanctions lifting, and a new Strait of Hormuz control mechanism. President Trump expressed skepticism before reviewing the full proposal, stating Iran has not paid a big enough price and insisting any deal must completely halt uranium enrichment. The dispute centers on sequencing: Iran proposes a compressed 30-day timeline with nuclear negotiations in a later phase, while Washington demands front-loaded nuclear concessions within its nine-point, two-month ceasefire framework. Iran has disrupted Strait of Hormuz traffic for over two months, stranding hundreds of vessels and threatening global oil supplies, though Tehran has shown flexibility by dropping its demand for naval blockade removal before talks and hinting at potential strait reopening.
