Ceasefire Announcement

The advisory comes as Donald Trump has suspended the 'bombing and attack' campaign on Iran, announcing a two-week, double-sided ceasefire and stating that Iran’s 10-point proposal is workable.

Iran has put forward a comprehensive 10-point framework that it says forms the basis of a complete resolution.

According to the proposal, the United States is expected to commit to key principles, including 'non-aggression' and the continuation of Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial global oil transit chokepoint.

Among the most significant demands is Washington, DC's 'acceptance of enrichment', referring to Iran's nuclear programme, which has long been a central point of contention.

Tehran has also called for sweeping economic relief, including the lifting of all primary and secondary sanctions—measures that have severely impacted its economy.

Global and Military Conditions

The conditions extend into the diplomatic arena, with Iran demanding the termination of all United Nations Security Council resolutions and International Atomic Energy Agency Board of Governors resolutions related to its nuclear activities.

Additionally, Tehran has called for compensation for damages incurred during the conflict and demanded the withdrawal of US combat forces from the region, along with a broader cessation of war on all fronts, including against the Islamic Resistance of Lebanon.
