WASHINGTON/CAIRO – The United ?States and Iran have received the framework of a plan to end hostilities, a day after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to rain “hell” on Tehran if it did not make a deal, although Iran said it ?would not reopen the Strait of Hormuz as ?part of ?a temporary ceasefire.
The peace plan involves a two-tier ?approach with an immediate ceasefire followed by a comprehensive agreement. Pakistan’s army chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, has been in contact “all ?night long” with U.S. Vice President JD Vance, special envoy Steve Witkoff and ?Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, a source aware of the proposals said Monday.
Iran won’t reopen ?the strait as part ?of a temporary ceasefire, a senior Iranian official said Monday, adding that Iran won’t ?accept deadlines as ?it reviews the proposal.
