Donald Trump Administration Offers 15-Point Ceasefire Plan to Iran

The Trump administration late Tuesday offered a 15-point ceasefire plan to Iran, a person briefed on the contours of the proposal said, even as the U.S. military prepared to call up at least 1,000 more troops to supplement some 50,000 troops already in the Mideast. 

The plan was submitted to Iran by intermediaries from Pakistan, who have offered to host renewed negotiations between Washington and Tehran, according to the person, who spoke on condition



of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.

The New York Times was the first to report that the plan had been delivered to Iranian officials. 

The Pentagon is also in the process of deploying two Marine units that will add about 5,000 Marines and thousands of sailors to the region. The moves are being framed as Trump maneuvering to give himself “max flexibility” on what he will do next, the person added.
