Tehran is demanding that, before any ceasefire talks begin, the U.S. shut down its military bases in the Middle East, pay reparations, stop strikes on Hezbollah, and fully lift sanctions.
Iran also wants to charge ships for passing through the Strait of Hormuz and keep its nuclear program without any restrictions.
Washington is demanding that Tehran abandon its nuclear program in exchange for lifting sanctions.
The U.S. has sent Iran a 15-point plan to end the war via Pakistan. It calls for dismantling nuclear facilities in Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordow, halting uranium enrichment, and handing over existing stockpiles.
The plan also includes limits on missile range and guarantees of free navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.
In return, Washington promises to lift sanctions and support the development of a civilian nuclear plant in Bushehr under international oversight.
