US Rejects Iran's 14-Point Proposal for Ceasefire and Nuclear Talks

Iran has presented a 14-point proposal to the US aiming to end the ongoing conflict, proposing a two-stage process: an immediate ceasefire followed by nuclear negotiations if conditions are met. The US, emphasizing the need to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, has rejected the proposal, insisting on trust-building measures like inspections and verification. Iranian officials argue that accepting their plan is essential to avoid continued failure, while US concerns focus on ensuring any agreement does not strengthen Iran's strategic position.
