US Submits Five-Point Peace Proposal to Iran, Demanding Uranium Handover

Diplomatic relations between the United States and Iran have further deteriorated after Washington submitted a five-point proposal in response to Tehran’s peace initiative. Iranian media reported on Sunday (May 17, 2026) that the US proposal contains very demanding terms for Iran.

This move comes after US President Donald Trump firmly rejected Iran’s previous 14-point proposal last Friday. Trump deemed Tehran’s latest response to the US initiative completely unacceptable.

According to reports from Sputnik and RIA Novosti, the main points of the latest US demands are:

Previously, the Tehran Times newspaper reported that Iran had attempted to offer a 14-point conflict resolution plan, but it was rejected by Washington. This tension is further complicated by reports from the Fars news agency stating that the threat of military aggression from the US and Israel against Iran remains, even if Iran were to accept all the demands.

As of this report, Tehran has not yet provided an official response to the five-point proposal. However, the situation in the Middle East is expected to remain at a high level of alert given that the conditions put forward by the US touch on Iran’s energy sovereignty and financial assets.

This uncertain situation is also being closely monitored by global market players, given its significant impact on economic stability and the Rupiah exchange rate against the US dollar if military escalation does occur. (Ant/I-1)

Iran warned the United States to accept the 14-point peace proposal after Donald Trump rejected it. Tensions between the two countries have risen again in the Strait of Hormuz.

The price of oil was also affected after US President Donald Trump officially rejected Iran’s peace proposal.
