Washington demands nuclear shutdown to halt ongoing Middle East war
Reports from Israeli media indicate that Washington is pushing a new framework to halt hostilities in the Middle East. President Trump recently confirmed ongoing discussions, claiming complete military dominance over Tehran. He stated that American planes fly freely over Iranian airspace and described their armed forces as totally defeated. According to these global updates, White House has presented fifteen specific terms to establish a US Iran peace deal.
White House Demands Strict Nuclear Concessions
US officials, including special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, reportedly designed a mechanism starting with a month-long ceasefire. During this pause, negotiators would finalize the sweeping demands. Israel's Channel 12 outlined most of these requirements. Washington insists Tehran must permanently abandon its pursuit of atomic weapons and completely dismantle existing nuclear infrastructure, including sites like Fordo, Isfahan, and Natanz. Furthermore, international inspectors require unrestricted access to monitor compliance with the Iran nuclear program restrictions. Beyond atomic energy restrictions, the proposed terms mandate an end to funding and arming regional militant groups. Safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz is another crucial requirement, ensuring free global maritime trade. Additionally, limits on missile ranges and quantities are on the table, restricting their future use strictly to self-defense.
Benefits Offered For Total Compliance
In exchange for meeting Trump's 15 conditions, Washington offers significant economic relief. Sanctions imposed by the global community would be entirely lifted. Furthermore, America promises assistance in developing a civilian nuclear program for electricity generation, specifically mentioning the Bushehr plant. The plan also removes automatic sanction snapback mechanisms if minor violations occur.
Jerusalem Worries While Tehran Considers Options
Israeli officials expressed unease over these developments. They worry the current US administration might settle for a loose framework agreement rather than enforcing rigid preconditions before stopping the conflict. Meanwhile, Haaretz reported that an intermediary nation delivered this proposal to Tehran with a strict deadline. Iranian representatives supposedly agreed to review the offer but firmly ruled out accepting certain undisclosed terms. Despite Trump's confident remarks about an impending resolution, official channels in Tehran recently denied active negotiations, insisting that true peace requires a complete end to the joint military campaign by Israeli and American forces.
