Iran Submits Revised 14-Point Peace Plan in US Talks via Pakistan

Iran has submitted a revised 14-point peace plan to end the ongoing conflict with the United States, according to reports on May 21, 2026, citing Iran's Tasnim news agency. The plan was conveyed through Pakistani mediators who have been facilitating back-channel talks.

Tehran is currently reviewing the latest US peace proposal, which was also delivered via Pakistan, a spokesperson for Iran's Foreign Ministry confirmed. The dual-track diplomacy reflects a renewed push to reach a permanent agreement before a temporary ceasefire, in place since April 8, 2026, expires or falters.

A major sticking point remains Iran's enriched uranium stockpile. US negotiators are demanding that Iran give up its enriched material, but Tehran has resisted, viewing the stockpile as a core element of its nuclear program and leverage in negotiations.

The talks are focused on a memorandum of understanding framework, but no formal signing has occurred. The temporary ceasefire has held since early April, creating a window for negotiators to address the most difficult issues.

The next real-world event to watch is whether Iran's review of the US proposal yields a counteroffer or an agreement in principle, and whether the two sides can bridge the uranium gap before the temporary ceasefire's status becomes a deadline.
