Donald Trump says Iran gave most of 15 demands in peace plan; Iran reiterates 'no ongoing talks'

President Donald Trump said that Iran “gave” the US most of the 15 demands it sent to Tehran as demands for an end to the war, even as it remains unclear whether either side is really negotiating.

“They gave us most of the points. Why wouldn’t they?” he told reporters on Air Force One on Sunday. “We’re going to be asking for a couple of other things.” He declined to specify the concessions the Iranians have offered.

Publicly, Iran has rejected the US’s 15-point list of ceasefire terms delivered by the Trump administration via intermediaries in Pakistan, and has countered with five conditions of its own — including maintaining sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz.

In a post on X, the Iranian Military reportedly said, “There is still no negotiation or exchange of messages between Iran and the US, and all the information published about this is fake. Iran decides to continue the war until the goals are fully achieved and the conditions are fulfilled, and this will continue for as long as necessary. The armed forces are ready for an intense war for at least 6 months. There is a consensus in the political atmosphere about absolute distrust of the US.”

Officials from Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Turkey met over the weekend to find a path out of the conflict, but it’s unclear whether they made any progress.

Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said after the meeting with his counterparts that “both Iran and the US have expressed their confidence in Pakistan” to host future talks. However, neither side has indicated they are ready to meet.
