Iran submits 14-point ceasefire response; Trump calls it garbage

Iran submitted a formal 14-point ceasefire response to the United States through Pakistani mediators on May 10, 2026. The proposal demanded an end to hostilities, lifting of oil sanctions, an end to the naval blockade, and unfreezing of Iranian assets — deferring all nuclear concessions to a later phase. Trump called the proposal "a piece of garbage," adding "the plan is they cannot have a nuclear weapon," and declared the ceasefire "on life support." Iran's chief negotiator responded by issuing a 48-hour ultimatum to Washington: accept the proposal or face "failure."
