Iran has dismissed an American plan to pause the war in the Middle East, issuing its own counterproposal instead, as it launched more attacks on Israel and Gulf Arab countries. Pakistani officials described the proposal broadly as touching on sanctions relief, civilian nuclear cooperation, a rollback of Iran’s nuclear program, monitoring by the International Atomic Energy Agency, missile limits and access for shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf. Iran issued it’s own plan Wednesday via state TV, which includes a halt to killings of its officials, means to make sure no other war is waged against it, reparations for the war, the end of hostilities and Iran’s “exercise of sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz.”
President Donald Trump has delayed a threatened U.S. strike on Iran’s energy infrastructure and extended a deadline for reopening the Strait of Hormuz until April 6. Trump says talks with Iran to end the war are going well, saying Iranian leaders were “begging to make a deal.” Tehran has dismissed Trump’s 15-point ceasefire plan. Trump’s announcement on social media came after U.S. stocks fell sharply Thursday and oil prices rose, as doubt took over again on Wall Street about a possible end to the war.
