- Some reports are flying about a potential Ceasefire but cautioned that the proposal was not new and had been resubmitted ahead of Trump’s deadline And also Trump has not signed off on the ceasefire idea; It’s one of many things being discussed and in response iran said No rational person would agree to ceasefire, it want end to the war not a temporary ceasefire
- Israel is awaiting authorization from U.S this week to begin striking Iran’s energy facilities
- The first attempts by QatarEnergy tankers carrying LNG to cross the Strait of Hormuz appeared to have been aborted.
- Israel said it had struck Iran’s largest petrochemical site

Trump: Based on conversations with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, of Pakistan, and wherein they requested that I hold off the destructive force being sent tonight to Iran, and subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks. This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE! The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all Military objectives, and are very far along with a definitive Agreement concerning Longterm PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East. We received a 10 point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate. Almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran, but a two week period will allow the Agreement to be finalized and consummated.

Iran 10 Points Breakdown: infinityhedge

US stance:

1. Nonaggression: highly likely to agree though Iran wants Russia/China as guarantors as well (not sure here)

2. Control over SoH: won't agree, unacceptable precedent

3. Nuclear Enrichment: might agree. Iran softened its stance & open to strict limits

4 & 5. Lift All Sanctions: highly likely to agree

6. End UN Resolutions: can lobby for this though Neither US nor EU is likely to allow Iran to rebuild its military legally with Russia or China.

7. End IAEA Probes: highly likely to lobby. Iran has softened this demand also

8. Compensation: won't pay. Iran softened, open to using its own frozen funds instead

9. US Troop Withdrawal: might agree to partial cuts but refuses a total pullout. Iran has backed away from this demand as well somewhat

10. Total Ceasefire: highly likely to agree but Israel currently refuses to halt its military operations in Lebanon
