Middle East crisis live: Trump urges Iran to make deal after bridge strike

Iranian foreign minister criticises security council vote on military protection for shipping in the strait a ‘provocative action’

Full report: Trump warns Tehran ‘more to follow’ after strike destroys Iran’s largest bridge

Javad Zarif shared his peace plan in a post on X, writing:

As an Iranian, outraged by Donald Trump’s reckless aggression & crude insults, yet proud of our armed forces & resilient people, I am torn about publishing this peace-plan in Foreign Affairs. Yet I’m convinced that war must end on terms consistent with Iran’s national interests.

Iran commit to never seeking nuclear weapons and “down-blend” its stock of enriched uranium below 3.67%, the level set by the 2015 nuclear deal Donald Trump pulled the US out of in 2018.

To include China and Russia in any deal to establish a single uranium enrichment site for the region, where Iran “would transfer all its enriched material and equipment to that space”.

The US and allies drop all sanctions against Iran and allow the country to fully participate in the global economy.

Reopen the strait of Hormuz, but the US must allow Tehran to use the key shipping route too.

Iran and the US sign a nonagression pact “in which both countries pledge to not strike each other in the future”.
