'Tehran outlines conditions including sanctions relief, continued Iranian control over Strait of Hormuz, withdrawal of US combat forces from region'

>>Iran said early Wednesday that the United States has “in principle” accepted a 10-point proposal aimed at ending the war, according to reports by the state-run Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) network.

Iran’s Supreme National Security Council said in a statement that the proposal would serve as the framework for negotiations aimed at finalizing a broader agreement, though it did not publicly detail all elements of the plan.

IRIB, citing the statement and related reporting, said the proposal includes guarantees of non-aggression against Iran, continued Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz, recognition of Tehran’s right to uranium enrichment, the lifting of all US primary and secondary sanctions, the termination of UN Security Council and International Atomic Energy Agency Board of Governors resolutions against Iran, payment of compensation, the withdrawal of US combat forces from the region, and ending hostilities across all fronts, including in Lebanon.<<

Donald Trump cedes ground to Iran before negotiations even begin - 8 April

>>It appears Iran, not the United States, has set the ground rules for negotiations during the next two weeks about how to end the conflict in the Middle East, which has been so catastrophic to regional peace and the global economy.

Just hours after threatening that a "whole civilisation" would die unless the Iranian regime agreed to the demands of the United States, US President Donald Trump came back from the brink and said a two-week ceasefire would now begin.

The crux of this is a "10-point proposal" the US has received from Iran, which Trump said was "a workable basis on which to negotiate".

But if the 10 points are even remotely agreed to, it will mean the combined military might of the US and Israel has not only been unable to fully deliver the emasculation of Iran that they trumpeted, but that Iran will emerge with fewer limitations on it than it has felt for decades.

By defining what is "workable" in the framework set out by Iran, Trump has ceded ground before he has even started.<<

Davids article is misleading because it assumes Iran were desperate for the ceasefire, when it was the U.S. who were seeking it.
U.S. bases had been battered and they needed to regroup and resupply.
