Trump: Iran has met most of the 15 demands

Odaily News On Sunday local time, Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One that Iran has already "met" "most" of the 15 ceasefire demands previously presented by the US to Tehran, although it remains unclear whether substantive negotiations are actually underway between the two sides. He stated: "They have met most of our points. Why wouldn't they? We will put forward a few other demands." However, he declined to specify what concessions Iran has made. Publicly, Iran has explicitly rejected the list of 15 ceasefire conditions and has instead put forward its own five preconditions—including complete control over the sovereignty of the Strait of Hormuz. This weekend, officials from Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey held meetings in an attempt to find a way out of the conflict, but there is currently no indication that the talks have made substantive progress. After meeting with his counterparts from various countries, the Pakistani Foreign Minister stated: "Both Iran and the United States have expressed trust in Pakistan and are willing for Pakistan to host subsequent negotiations." However, neither side has indicated readiness for direct dialogue. (Jin10)
