Special Report: Trump Proposes 15-Point Iran Peace Plan as Oil Prices

President Donald Trump has announced a significant shift in U.S. policy toward Iran, pivoting from threats of military strikes to a 15-point peace proposal that has already impacted global markets. The announcement, made Monday in Memphis, followed a weekend of heightened tension where Trump had threatened to hit Iranian power plants if the Strait of Hormuz was not reopened. This new diplomatic posture includes an extension of the strike pause to five days and a proposal for a joint control mechanism for the Strait. Consequently, Brent crude prices plunged 15% as news of a potential summit in Pakistan emerged. While Trump claims progress with a mystery official in Tehran, Iranian leaders have publicly denied direct negotiations. In a separate but related regional development, Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has called for the formal annexation of southern Lebanon up to the Litani River, effectively claiming 800 square kilometers as the military continues to destroy local infrastructure and evacuate civilians.

President Donald Trump has signaled a major shift in the ongoing conflict with Iran, detailing a 15-point peace proposal and extending a strike deadline on power plants to five days. This pivot, which includes a proposed shared control of the Strait of Hormuz, has led to a significant 15% drop in global oil prices. Trump indicated that negotiations are being facilitated by intermediaries in Pakistan, Turkey, and Oman, with a potential summit in Pakistan involving Vice President JD Vance. While the White House describes the situation as fluid, Tehran has officially denied that any direct talks have taken place. Meanwhile, regional tensions are further complicated by Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who is advocating for the annexation of 800 square kilometers of southern Lebanon up to the Litani River, as Israeli forces continue to dismantle infrastructure and bridges in the area.
