Iran has rejected the US peace plan and offered a five-point plan of its own,vowing to defend itself unless the conditions are met.

The White House promised to unleash ‘hell’ if Tehran didn’t agree to the plan,adding: ‘Iran should not miscalculate again.’

Speaking yesterday,Trump said Iran was ‘negotiating’ and ‘wants to make a deal so badly’ – a notion quickly dismissed by Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi.

He told Iranian state television: ‘We do not plan on any negotiations’,and Tehran told the US through an intermediary that it will continue defending itself.

Here’s all you need to know about Iran’s demands for peace and what’s next for the region.

What has Iran asked for?

Tehran has reportedly set out five conditions,which,if met,they agree to end the war.

They include:

Stopping ‘aggression and assassinations’

Putting in solid mechanisms to ensure that Iran will not be attacked again

Paying money for reparations after damage in the war

Ending the conflict on all fronts and for all resistance groups involved

International recognition and guarantees regarding Iran’s authority over the Strait of Hormuz

What has the US demanded?

The 15 point plan was submitted to Iran by intermediaries from Pakistan,who have offered to host new negotiations between Washington and Tehran.

Israeli officials,who have been advocating for Trump to continue the war against Iran,were taken by surprise by the US submission of a ceasefire plan.

The exact details haven’t been revealed,but intermediaries have reported each of the 15 points as including the following:

Iran will dismantle all of its nuclear capabilities

Iran will commit to never pursuing nuclear weapons

Iran won’t enrich any more nuclear material

All enriched nuclear material will be handed over

Existing nuclear facilities will be destroyed

The Atomic Energy Agency will be able to access all Iranian sites

Iran will abandon proxies like Hezbollah and the Houthis

Iran will stop funding and arming proxies

The Strait of Hormuz will be opened

Iran will limit the number and range of its missiles

Missiles will only be used in self-defence

Sanctions will be lifted on Iran

Iran will develop a civil nuclear energy programme

The threat of UN sanctions against Iran will be removed

How would negotiations work?

Any talks between the US and Iran would face monumental challenges. Many of Washington’s shifting objectives,particularly over Iran’s ballistic missile and nuclear programmes,remain difficult to achieve.

It is not clear who in Iran’s government would have the authority to negotiate or be willing to,as Israel has vowed to continue taking out leaders.

Iran remains highly suspicious of the United States,twice under the Trump administration,has attacked during high-level diplomatic talks,including the February 28 strikes,which started the current war.

At least 1,000 troops from the 82nd Airborne Division will be sent to the Middle East in the coming days,three people with knowledge of the plans told The Associated Press.

The 82nd Airborne is considered the US Army’s emergency response force and can typically be deployed on short notice.
