Trump Accepts Iran’s 10-Point Framework as Ceasefire Takes Effect

The MeidasTouch Podcast reports that Donald Trump agreed to a two-week ceasefire with Iran moments before his self-imposed 8 p.m. Eastern deadline to "obliterate the entire civilization of Iran" — and in doing so, accepted all ten of Iran's negotiating demands. Iranian media is calling it a "crushing defeat" for the United States.

The 10-Point Framework

For weeks, Iran had been insisting on a 10-point plan as the only basis for any ceasefire or deal. The Trump administration had put forward its own 15-point proposal, which Iran rejected as unacceptable. According to the podcast's reporting, Iran never budged from its position, and the Trump administration previously called the Iranian demands "maximalist" and said they would never agree to them.

The ten points Iran demanded include: a commitment to non-aggression against Iran, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Iranian-aligned groups in Iraq; continued Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz; acceptance of Iran's uranium enrichment; lifting all primary and secondary sanctions; termination of all UN Security Council and Board of Governor resolutions; payment of compensation to Iran; withdrawal of U.S. combat forces from the region; and cessation of war on all fronts, including against Hezbollah in Lebanon.
