Amidst this extreme tension, US President Donald Trump has taken a dramatic initiative to establish peace. However, the situation has now taken a more complicated turn after Tehran directly rejected Trump’s 15-point peace proposal. Although Iran dismissed the proposal as ‘irrational’, Washington is not willing to give up. This time, the Trump administration has reached out to Pakistan, a nuclear-armed country in South Asia, to open up the diplomatic deadlock.
Behind the refusal: Why doesn’t Iran agree?
The White House sent a special draft to Iran via Pakistan on March 24. The main condition of Trump’s 15-point peace proposal was to completely stop Iran’s nuclear program and long-range ballistic missile program. Tehran claims that this is not a peace proposal, but a direct attack on Iran’s sovereignty. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has stated in very strong language that no ceasefire is possible until their own conditions are met.

Despite Iran’s rejection of the proposal, the Trump administration is continuing to try to negotiate through a ‘back-channel’ or alternative route. According to a recent CNN report, Washington is planning a high-level meeting in Pakistan later this week. US Vice President JD Vance may lead the mission.

Mainly because there is no direct diplomatic relationship between Tehran and Washington. However, considering the security situation in Pakistan, the name of Ankara, Turkey, is also being seriously discussed as the venue for this meeting.

Trump’s ‘Dream Team’ and Diplomatic Activities
President Trump has been claiming from the beginning that he wants to end the war.

The main goal of this influential group is to bring Iran back to the negotiating table. However, due to Iran’s stubborn attitude, implementing Trump’s 15-point peace proposal has now become a major challenge for Trump.
The wounds of February 28 and the current context
The current situation in the Middle East has deteriorated since the bloody attack on February 28. Trump Proposes 15-Point Peace Plan was hastily put forward to defuse the fear of direct conflict between Israel and Iran after that incident. Iran believes that an attempt is being made to extract unilateral benefits from them by applying military pressure. On the other hand, Washington wants a long-term solution that protects US and Israeli interests in the Middle East.
The role of Türkiye and Pakistan
Pakistan and Turkey have now become increasingly important as mediators in the Iran-US tensions. Islamabad’s close ties with Tehran and its military and political contacts with Washington have all served as a bridge. On the other hand, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan also wants peace to return to the region. If the meeting in Pakistan is not possible, Turkey could be the second center for talks. But the main question remains, will Iran actually accept Trump Proposes 15-Point Peace Plan proposal and give up its military ambitions?

However, if there is room for concessions through Pakistan’s mediation, a temporary ceasefire may be possible. This tug-of-war over Trump’s 15-point peace proposal is actually a litmus test of Trump’s leadership in world politics. Trump Proposes 15-Point Peace Plan
