US-Iran ceasefire: Is there a ‘workable’ peace plan? | Global News Podcast
President Donald Trump says the US and Iran have agreed a two-week ceasefire, while a more lasting deal is negotiated. Iran has submitted at 10-point proposal, which President Trump called “a workable basis on which to negotiate”. That plan reportedly includes calls for the US to withdraw its military forces from the region; lift economic sanctions on Iran; pay compensation for damage caused during the war; and allow Tehran to maintain control over the Strait of Hormuz. Washington put forward its own 15-point plan last month, which analysts said included terms that Iran would find difficult to accept.
Both the US and Iran have claimed this moment as a victory. But several key sticking points of the conflict remain unresolved — including Iran’s insistence that it be allowed to enrich uranium for its civil nuclear programme. And, Iranian officials say they will control which vessels are permitted to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.
President Trump has claimed that US and Israeli strikes — which killed the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and several other high-ranking officials — have effectively changed the Iranian regime, though critics have argued that the Islamic Republic’s replacement leaders follow the same ideology. And while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said he supports the ceasefire, he has maintained that it does not apply to Israel’s fight against Hezbollah in Lebanon.
We ask the BBC’s diplomatic correspondent Paul Adams what the US and Iran believe they have achieved in this war, and whether they can find common ground in their contrasting plans for peace.

US and Iran hold peace talks in highest level meeting since 1979 Islamic revolution | BBC News
The US Vice-President JD Vance has been holding face to face talks with senior Iranian leaders in Islamabad. It’s the highest level direct talks between the two countries since Iran’s Islamic revolution in. 1979.
There were three rounds of talks mediated by Pakistan in Islamabad, with the hope of agreeing a permanent end to the fighting in the Middle East that began with US and Israel attacking Iran and sparked a wider conflict and the closure of the strait of Hormuz to international shipping.
There are huge obstacles to a lasting peace deal. The strait of Hormuz remains blocked to much shipping, pushing up global prices of oil and gas. In Lebanon Israel continues to attack Hezbollah, Iran’s most powerful proxy. More than 200 targets have been attacked there in the past 24 hours, with the death toll over 2,000.
Christian Fraser presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Caroline Davies and Lyse Doucet in Islamabad.

Today, an undercover BBC investigation has found evidence of law firms and legal advisors helping migrants pretend to be gay to get asylum.
Migrants were advised to take staged photos at nightclubs, attend LGBT events and to go to GPs pretending to be depressed to obtain medical evidence to support their cases.
Adam and Chris are joined by BBC politics investigation correspondent Billy Kenber, who uncovered the story. In response to our findings, the Home Office said: “Anyone found trying to exploit the system will face the full force of the law, including removal from the UK.”
Plus, Adam also checks in with Faisal, who’s in the US at the IMF’s annual conference. He fills us in on the indirect war of words between Rachel Reeves and her US counterpart, Scott Bessent.
