Iran has received the 15-point US ceasefire proposal, 2 Pakistani officials say

  • The U.S. sent Iran a 15‑point ceasefire proposal via Pakistani and Egyptian intermediaries covering sanctions relief, civilian nuclear cooperation, IAEA monitoring, missile limits and guaranteed shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.

  • The standoff has prompted U.S. troop movements and helped push oil prices higher, raising concerns about broader market and energy impacts.
