10 point plan that Iran sent
1. Guarantee that Iran will not be attacked again
2. Permanent end to the war, not just a ceasefire
3. End to Israeli strikes in Lebanon
4. Lifting of all US sanctions on Iran
5. End to all regional fighting against Iranian allies
6.In return, Iran would open the Strait of Hormuz
7. Iran would impose a Hormuz fee of $2 million per ship
8.Iran would split these fees with Oman
9. Iran to provide rules for safe passage through Hormuz
10. Iran to use Hormuz fees for reconstruction instead of reparations
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has announced Iran will agree to a ceasefire "if attacks against Iran are halted".
He continues "for a period of two weeks, safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz will be possible".
Ceasefire is extremely welcome.
But nothing about regime change. Nothing about uranium. Nothing about nuclear capacity. . . . So far. Maybe that will come in further negotiations.
My gut says we'll end up with something very similar to what we had in place before Trump undid it in Term 1.
We'll see. I would bet it is a little stricter. I doubt they get a toll fee. That is like charging people to cross the Atlantic. They need to quit acting like they own the strait. I also doubt they get away without giving up any and all uranium and without inspections.
I could see the lifting of sanctions, but it would be in steps as Iran earns the right to have them eased. They won't go away overnight.
A guarantee they won't be attacked again? I don't see how we could guarantee we would never attack England. Who knows what the future holds?
They are also leaving out a lot of other things like no supporting and funding terror around the world. Human rights issues in their country.
