@user3272534820149: This should never happen Trump should ask for these as this would benefit all countries 1. Immediate ceasefire, but not open-ended.
Make the current two-week ceasefire the bridge to a renewable 30–60 day arrangement, with automatic extension only if both sides comply. Reuters reports the present pause is tied to reopening Hormuz and further talks in Islamabad, so the framework already exists.
2. Full, normal passage through the Strait of Hormuz with no transit toll.
This would be the red line. Iran can participate in maritime safety coordination, but there should be no unilateral fee for transit passage. Reuters reports that Iran has floated charging ships, and that the international pushback is strong because Hormuz is treated as an international strait where simple transit tolls are not generally allowed.
3. Temporary maritime security mechanism with neutral monitors.
Instead of “Iran controls Hormuz” or “the U.S. escorts everything by force,” create a short-term mechanism involving Oman and other neutral states to verify safe passage, deconflict naval activity, and publish shipping guidance. Reuters reported Iran is already discussing a protocol with Oman, and Japan has publicly pressed Iran to protect shipping after the ceasefire.
4. Freeze-for-freeze on escalation.
Iran pauses attacks, blockade measures, and proxy escalation; the U.S. pauses bombing and does not widen the war while talks continue. That matches the logic of the current ceasefire, where Iran agreed to halt counter-attacks if aggression stops and the U.S. paused bombing for two weeks.
5. Limited sanctions relief, staged and reversible.
I would not lift all sanctions immediately. I’d offer phased relief tied to verified compliance: reopening shipping, no attacks on U.S. forces or allies, and cooperation in talks. Some reporting says full sanctions relief is part of Iran’s ask, but that is too much upfront leverage to concede in a first-stage deal.
6. Reconstruction and humanitarian channel, but not as a blank check.
A reconstruction fund could be created for civilian infrastructure and humanitarian needs, ideally with international oversight. Reuters says reconstruction supp
