Trump's 15-Point Plan for Ending the War with Iran - and the Concern in Israel
Sources familiar with the details revealed that a mechanism already being pursued • According to the mechanism, a one-month ceasefire will be declared, during which the parties will negotiate a points-based agreement similar to those signed in Gaza and Lebanon • As part of the agreement, severe restrictions will be imposed on Iran • These are the points
Despite the unpredictability of President Trump's decision-making, the emerging direction that is causing concern in Jerusalem is the rapid push by the U.S. president and his team toward a framework agreement with Iran.
Three sources familiar with the details told News 12 this evening (Tuesday) that there is already a mechanism being pursued by presidential advisors Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, with President Trump's approval, of course — namely, the declaration of a one-month ceasefire during which the parties will negotiate the 15-point agreement, quite similar to what happened in
This scenario — a swift and vague principles agreement — is keeping Israel's political and security echelon up at night, due to the fear that at such a juncture, the Iranians would essentially come out on top, having managed to halt the fire without all the points being clarified.
We also revealed this evening the 15-point plan that was conveyed to Iran, as relayed by a Western source.
What Is the U.S. Asking of Iran?
- Dismantlement of existing nuclear capabilities that have already been accumulated
- A commitment that Iran will never pursue nuclear weapons
- - No material will be enriched on Iranian soil
- - All enriched material will be handed over to the IAEA within a near-term timeline to be defined by the parties
- - Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordow will be taken out of service — destroyed
- - The International Atomic Energy Agency will have full access to all information across Iranian territory
- - Iran will abandon the proxy paradigm
- - Iran will effectively cease funding and arming its regional proxies
- - The Strait of Hormuz will remain open, designated as a free maritime zone — and no one will block it
- - The missile program: a decision will be made at a later stage, but restrictions on quantity and range will be required
- - Future use: only for self-defense purposes
## What Will Iran Receive in Return?
- Removal of all sanctions
- Assistance in advancing and developing a civilian nuclear project in Bushehr (electricity generation)
- The snapback threat will be lifted
There is great doubt — if not no chance at all — that the Iranians will agree to such absolute provisions, and therefore the scenario in which everything falls apart is still on the table. Alongside that is the scenario in which the U.S. and Iran do reach a general framework agreement, with the devil — the details — deferred to a later stage.
