Iran Rejects Trump's 15-Point Peace Plan, Demands War Reparations

Iran and the U.S. have mutually rejected a first exchange of peace proposals this week some regional powers are pushing for further talks. A top U.S. official called Iran's demands "ridiculous and unrealistic," according to the Wall Street Journal. President Donald Trump said Tehran has four more days to come to an agreement before the U.S. begins targeting Iran's energy infrastructure...

<p>Iran has informed the U.S. through intermediaries that it rejects the Trump administration's <a href="https://www.axios.com/2026/03/24/iran-peace-discussions-us-israel" target="_blank">15-point proposal for negotiations</a>, Iran's English-language Press TV reported on Wednesday. </p><p><strong>Why it matters:</strong> The U.S. offer includes many elements Tehran has repeatedly opposed, but rejecting it outright could increase the risk of a major escalation — including the possibility Trump will revive his threat to destroy Iranian power plants.</p><hr /><ul><li>The Iranian position, which was reported in other <a href="https://www.axios.com/world/iran" target="_blank">Iranian</a> and pro-Iran media outlets in the region, could take the U.S. push for in-person peace talks this week off the table for now.</li></ul><p><strong>What they're saying:</strong> A senior Iranian official told Press TV the U.S. terms were "excessive" and the war would only end "on Tehran's own terms and timeline."</p><ul><li>The Iranian official told Press TV that Tehran saw the latest proposal by the Trump administration to hold negotiations "<a href="https://www.axios.com/2026/03/25/iran-war-trump-peace-talks-tehran-suspicious" target="_blank">as a ploy</a>."</li><li>Axios reported overnight that Iran had told the mediators it <a href="https://www.axios.com/2026/03/25/iran-war-trump-peace-talks-tehran-suspicious" target="_blank">suspected Trump's push</a> for peace talks was a ruse, given the U.S. is currently sending thousands of troops to the region.</li></ul><p><strong>Press TV reported </strong>that Iran has five conditions for a ceasefire and ending the war:</p><ul><li>Complete halting of attacks and assassinations by the U.S. and Israel.</li><li>The establishment of mechanisms to ensure the war doesn't resume.</li><li>Compensation for damages caused during the war.</li><li>Halting all U.S. and Israeli attacks against Hezbollah in Lebanon and pro-Iranian militias in Iraq. </li><li>Receiving international recognition and guarantees for Iran's authority over the Strait of Hormuz.</li></ul><p><em>This is a breaking news story and will be updated.</em></p>

<p>Iranian officials have told the countries trying to mediate peace talks with the U.S. that they have now been tricked twice by President <a href="https://www.axios.com/politics-policy/donald-trump" target="_blank">Trump</a> and "we don't want to be fooled again," according to a source with direct knowledge of those discussions.</p><p><strong>The big picture:</strong> The U.S. is <a href="https://www.axios.com/2026/03/24/iran-peace-discussions-us-israel" target="_blank">pushing for in-person peace talks</a> as soon as Thursday in Islamabad, Pakistan. But during the two previous rounds of U.S.-<a href="https://www.axios.com/world/iran" target="_blank">Iran</a> talks, Trump green lit crippling surprise attacks while still claiming to be seeking a deal.</p><hr /><p><strong>Flashback:</strong> <a href="https://www.axios.com/world/israel" target="_blank">Israel</a> attacked Iran with Trump's backing last June, days before a planned round of nuclear talks.</p><ul><li>Then three weeks ago, the U.S. and Israel reached a tentative agreement <a href="https://www.axios.com/2026/03/01/trump-iran-war-attack-behind-scenes" target="_blank">in Geneva</a> to continue talks the following week — two days before the U.S. and Israel attacked.</li></ul><p><strong>Behind the scenes:</strong> Iranian officials have told the mediators — Pakistan, Egypt and Turkey — that U.S. military movements and Trump's decision to deploy major troop reinforcements have increased their suspicion that his proposal for peace talks is just a ruse.</p><ul><li>To the Trump administration, the massing of forces is a sign he's serious about negotiating from gunboats, not that he's negotiating in bad faith. "Trump has a hand open for a deal and the other is a fist, waiting to punch you in the f***ing face," said a Trump adviser.</li><li>The White House has sent messages to the Iranians that Trump is serious about the negotiations, and floated Vice President JD Vance's possible involvement in the talks as proof.</li><li>Two sources said Witkoff recommended Vance because of the stature of his office and because the Iranians don't see him as a hawk.</li></ul><p><strong>What he is saying:</strong> On Tuesday, Trump revealed to reporters an apparent trust-building effort with the Iranians.</p><ul><li>"They did something yesterday that was amazing actually. They gave us a present and the present arrived today. It was a very big present worth a tremendous amount of money," Trump said.</li><li>Offering no specifics, Trump said the Iranian "gift" was "<a href="https://www.axios.com/energy-climate/oil-companies" target="_blank">oil</a> and gas-related" and connected to the "flow" in the Strait of Hormuz.</li><li>Trump contended that showed the U.S. was dealing with the right people in Tehran. "They said they were going to do it and it happened, and they are the only ones that could have done it."</li></ul><p><strong>Yes, but:</strong> Trump is simultaneously trying to build up options for diplomacy and military escalation in order to be able to decide based on developments, U.S. and Israeli officials say.</p><ul><li>Those officials say another two to three weeks of war is planned even if talks do take place.</li><li>Trump told Secretary of Defense <a href="https://www.axios.com/2026/03/19/200-billion-iran-war-hegseth-penntagon" target="_blank">Pete Hegseth</a> on Tuesday to keep up the military pressure on Iran, a White House official said. </li><li>"We negotiate with bombs," Hegseth told reporters in the Oval Office shortly thereafter. </li></ul><p><strong>Behind the scenes: </strong>The efforts to launch negotiations haven't led to any changes thus far in the orders the Pentagon has given CENTCOM about military operations and planning. </p><ul><li>More reinforcements, including several fighter jet squadrons and thousands of troops, are expected to arrive in the Middle East in the coming days and weeks.</li><li>One Marine expeditionary unit will arrive this week and another is expected to start making its way soon. </li><li>The command element of the <a href="https://www.axios.com/2026/03/24/iran-war-us-army-82nd-airborne-trump" target="_blank">82nd Airborne division</a> has been directed to deploy to the Middle East with an infantry brigade consisting of several thousand troops.</li><li>A White House official said a ground operation is an option but stressed Trump hasn't made a decision.</li></ul><p><strong>What to watch:</strong> The Iranians received a 15-point U.S. plan through the mediators on Monday morning, several hours before Trump revealed that talks were taking place, sources said.</p><ul><li>At the moment, the U.S. wants to discuss the plan as a package: Ending the war, reopening the strait, lifting sanctions and receiving assurances on Iran's nuclear activity, missile program and support for proxies.</li><li>The U.S. considers the 15-point plan a basis for negotiations and wants Iran to discuss it at an in-person meeting in Pakistan this Thursday, sources say.</li><li>A White House official said Trump is optimistic about the negotiations and a meeting in Pakistan is possible, but nothing has been finalized yet. </li></ul><p><strong>The bottom line: </strong>The White House official said Iran's priority is to stop the bombing and secure a ceasefire, while the U.S. wants to see if the Iranians will make concessions they weren't willing to make in previous talks.</p><ul><li>Both sides remember how those earlier negotiations ended.</li></ul><p><strong>Go deeper:</strong> <a href="https://www.axios.com/2026/03/21/iran-war-food-oil-shocks" target="_blank">Iran war's economic shocks could reverberate for a while</a></p>

<p>The U.S. and a group of regional mediators are discussing the possibility of holding <a href="https://www.axios.com/2026/03/23/trump-suspends-iran-strikes-hormuz-negotiations" target="_blank">high-level peace talks</a> with <a href="https://www.axios.com/world/iran" target="_blank">Iran</a> as soon as Thursday, but are still waiting for a response from Tehran, two sources with knowledge of the discussions tell Axios.</p><p><strong>Why it matters:</strong> President Trump is interested in <a href="https://www.axios.com/2026/03/21/trump-peace-deal-iran-kushner-witkoff" target="_blank">winding down</a> the war, but Iran's chokehold on the Gulf of Hormuz complicates any potential exit strategy. The U.S. has shared with Israel its 15-point plan to end the war and claimed Iran had agreed to many of the key points. There's been no tangible evidence of any such agreement. </p><hr /><ul><li>Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is concerned Trump might strike a deal that falls well short of Israel's objectives, includes significant concessions, and limits Israel's ability to conduct strikes against Iran, two Israeli sources say. </li><li>A third source said Israeli leaders were skeptical Iran had actually offered the concessions the U.S. claimed.</li><li>Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Tuesday that while many of Iran's leaders are gone, the U.S. "is talking to the right people and they want to make a deal badly."</li></ul><p><strong>At the moment,</strong> Iranian officials are denying Trump's claim of behind-the-scenes negotiations, though they've confirmed the U.S. has sent messages and proposals.</p><ul><li>Pakistan, which has been passing messages between Tehran and Washington together with Egypt and Turkey, has said it "stands ready and honored" to host peace talks if both countries agree. Trump shared the Pakistani message on Truth Social, in a sign of his interest in making such a summit happen.</li><li>If the plans for a summit firm up, Vice President Vance is likely to be involved. "But its not clear if there is anything to be involved in. Everyone is trying to figure out if it's real," one source with knowledge said.</li></ul><p><strong>Between the lines:</strong> U.S. officials say the <a href="https://www.axios.com/2026/03/23/trump-iran-peace-deal-iranian-leaders" target="_blank">Iranian government is in chaos</a> and is having trouble communicating within itself. The uncertain condition of the new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, adds to confusion about who is empowered to make decisions.</p><ul><li>Some<strong> </strong>Iranian officials, meanwhile, claim Trump is just trying to calm the markets and buy time for his military plans with false claims of diplomatic progress. </li><li>The U.S. is also readying options for potential escalation. A U.S. official told Axios the command element of the Army's 82nd Airborne division had been directed to deploy to the Middle East with an infantry brigade consisting of several thousand soldiers, as Fox News first reported. </li><li>That would give the U.S. more scope for potential ground operations.</li></ul><p><strong>Zoom in: </strong>The U.S. gave Iran a 15-point proposal for a possible deal to end the war. It includes many of the same demands the U.S. made during the last round of nuclear talks in Geneva, U.S. and Israeli sources said. </p><ul><li>U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff has told Trump that the Iranians agreed on several key points, including on giving up their stockpile of highly enriched uranium, a U.S. source told Axios.<strong> </strong>That would be a major concession, but it's unclear if anyone with authority in Tehran has actually offered it.</li><li>"Steve and Jared tried to establish a credible channel for negotiations with Iran, but it is too early to say what's gonna happen and if they have a real, viable channel," the source said. </li></ul><p><strong>Breaking it down: </strong>The U.S. also gave its 15-point plan to Israel. While the document aligns with Israel's positions, Israel is highly skeptical Iran will agree to Trump's full demands, an Israeli official said. </p><ul><li>"There is concern that Trump will decide to cut a deal and stop the war even if only some of his demands are met and postpose the rest for later without a clear solution," a second Israeli source said.</li><li>The U.S. told the Israelis that Iran had agreed to give up its 450kg stockpile of 60%-enriched uranium, accept enhanced UN inspections and monitoring of its nuclear sites, limit the range of its ballistic missiles and cut back on support for proxies, the source said.</li><li>The document calls for zero uranium enrichment in Iran, an Israeli source said. The U.S. side said Iran had agreed to suspend enrichment, but it's unclear for how long.</li><li>It's also unclear who purportedly made those commitments on behalf of Iran. The regime has previously rejected many of those U.S. demands, and Israeli intelligence believes there's still a big gap between the U.S. and Iranian positions.</li></ul><p><strong>The intrigue: </strong>Even at the top levels of the Trump administration, very few people know what is actually going on in terms of the outreach to Iran.</p><ul><li>One source said Witkoff and Kushner were speaking directly to Trump, with few others in the know.</li><li>The Israelis gathered intelligence in recent days that suggested "something was brewing" between the U.S. and Iran, but nothing more specific than that, the two Israeli officials said. </li><li>Vance updated Netanyahu in more detail on Monday around the same time Trump started talking publicly about outreach to Iran.</li></ul><p><strong>State of play: </strong>An Israeli source and a second source familiar with the diplomacy said the U.S. is waiting on a decision from the Iranians — possibly Mojtaba Khamenei himself — on whether to hold talks this week.</p><ul><li>It's unclear if the sides would be represented by Vance and Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the Iranian parliamentary speaker who is seen by the White House as its highest-level potential intermediary, or by lower-level officials.</li><li>One of the mediating countries proposed a temporary ceasefire to allow for detailed negotiations, but the Trump administration prefers negotiating under fire for now to maintain its leverage, according to two Israeli officials.</li><li>U.S. and Israeli officials are planning for another two to three weeks of war regardless of whether talks talk place.</li><li>White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement: "As President Trump and his negotiators explore this newfound possibility of diplomacy, Operation Epic Fury continues unabated to achieve the military objectives laid out by the Commander in Chief and the Pentagon."</li></ul><p><strong>What's next:</strong> A White House official described the situation as "fluid": Trump wants to see if a deal can be struck, but "if not we will go back to bombing them."</p><ul><li>Trump suspended planned strikes on Iranian power plants, but only until Friday.</li><li>The U.S. is building up options for military escalation, including potential boots on the ground, while also testing the diplomatic waters.</li></ul>

<p>President Trump told reporters his envoys had been negotiating with a senior Iranian official and claimed the parties agreed on many points. </p><p><strong>Why it matters: </strong>Regional leaders and global markets were bracing for major escalation on Monday, but Trump walked back his threat to strike <a href="https://www.axios.com/world/iran" target="_blank">Iran</a>'s power plants, citing productive <a href="https://www.axios.com/2026/03/21/trump-peace-deal-iran-kushner-witkoff" target="_blank">negotiations</a>. </p><hr /><ul><li>Iran denied any such talks had taken place and claimed Trump was just trying to calm the energy markets.</li><li>An Israeli official told Axios that U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner had been in touch with the speaker of the Iranian parliament, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf.</li><li>Trump did not name the Iranian interlocutor, saying he did not want to get him killed, but claimed the U.S. and Iran were aligned on many of the key issues. "We are dealing with a man that I believe is the most respected, not the supreme leader, we have not heard from him," Trump said.</li></ul><p><strong>Reality check: </strong>Despite Trump's claims of growing consensus, a source with knowledge of the discussions said there did not appear to have been any direct talks yet between Ghalibaf and Trump's team.</p><ul><li>Ghalibaf himself denied that any "negotiations" had taken place and called the U.S. claims an effort to manipulate markets and "escape the quagmire in which the U.S. and Israel are trapped."</li><li>The source said Egypt, Pakistan and Turkey passed messages between the U.S. and Iran on Sunday and were attempting to set up a call on Monday between Ghalibaf and Trump's team. </li><li>If it happens, that call could determine whether an in-person meeting takes place, according to the source.</li></ul><p><strong>State of play:</strong> "On Sunday, there was readiness from the two sides to start talking.

The Islamic Republic of Iran rejected a 15-point plan from President Donald Trump&#8217;s administration aiming to end the ongoing war with the U.S., according to Iranian state media.

Iran has rejected a U.S. proposal to end the war, dismissing it as unacceptable while vowing to continue fighting until its own conditions are met. A senior Iranian official on state-run media said Tehran would not negotiate under the current terms, calling the U.S. proposal “excessive” and insisting that “no negotiations will be held” before ...

The Trump administration has offered a 15-point ceasefire plan to Iran, according to a person briefed on the contours of the proposal.

The U.S. sent a 15-point proposal that would have required Iran to make significant concessions on its nuclear program.

Iran's defiance came as Israel launched airstrikes on Tehran and as the United States deployed paratroopers and more Marines to the region.

Iran offered a counterproposal Wednesday to end the war in the region after rejecting a ceasefire plan backed by the Trump administration.  Leaders in Tehran are asking for sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz and a complete end to “aggression” from the U.S. and Israel, among other demands. “Iran will end the war at a&#8230;
