US and Iran Reach 15-Point Agreement to End Middle East Conflict

Tel aviv: A media report late Tuesday revealed the details of a plan submitted by the US to Iran aimed at ending the war in the Middle East after President Donald Trump said Washington and Tehran had reached 15 'major points of agreements.'

According to Anadolu Agency, the plan includes the dismantling of all existing Iranian nuclear capabilities and a commitment that Iran will never pursue a nuclear weapon, as reported by Israel's Channel 12. The agreement stipulates that there will be no production of weapons-grade nuclear material on Iranian soil and all enriched material will be handed over to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) within an agreed timeline.

The report indicates that Iran's Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordow nuclear sites would be decommissioned and destroyed. Additionally, the IAEA would receive full access to all information regarding Iran's nuclear program. Iran is expected to cease the funding, directing, and arming of its proxies in the region. Furthermore, the Strait of Hormuz will remain open as a free maritime zone, ensuring no blockades.

The agreement also states that a decision regarding Iran's missile program will be made later, with conditions that ranges and numbers will need to be limited. Iran will be able to use the missiles solely for self-defense purposes in the future. In exchange, all sanctions on Iran will be lifted, and the country will receive assistance in developing a civilian nuclear project in Bushehr.

The removal of the 'snapback threat' is included among the points of the agreement, referring to the imminent, automatic reimposition of United Nations sanctions on Iran by the E3 countries -- Britain, France, and Germany. The conflict has intensified since US and Israeli strikes on Iran commenced on Feb. 28, followed by Iran's retaliatory drone and missile attacks targeting Israel and Gulf countries hosting US military assets.
