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 President Donald Trump tells Israel and Iran to stop “shooting”, after the countries attacked each other’s territory for the first time since the April ceasefire.
Israel carried out air strikes in western and central Iran, after Iran fired missiles at northern Israel.
Iran said it’s “the beginning of a full week of continuous strikes” – it launched its attacks after Israel carried out air strikes on Beirut in Lebanon on Sunday.
The Israeli military said those strikes, on Hezbollah targets in the city’s southern suburbs, were a response to Hezbollah firing rockets at Israel.

There were violent protests in Southampton following the release of bodycam footage showing police handcuffing 18-year-old Nowak as he lay dying. His killer Vickrum Digwa had claimed he had been the victim of a racist attack.
The footage of Nowak’s final moments has prompted a wave of political reaction in the UK, as well as X owner Musk criticising the police treatment of the teenager.
