WASHINGTON, D.C. — US President Donald Trump announced that Washington has made progress in negotiations with Iran, revealing that the United States has sent Tehran a 15-point proposal aimed at ending the ongoing war. Trump said Iran is “talking sense” and eager to reach a deal, though Iranian officials continue to deny direct talks with Washington.

Speaking at the White House on March 24, 2026, Trump told reporters that the United States is “in negotiations right now” with Iran and that the discussions have already yielded concessions. “We’re talking to the right people in Iran,” Trump said, adding that “the Iranians want to reach a deal very badly.”

Reports from US media confirmed that Washington has sent Tehran a 15-point settlement plan designed to end hostilities. The proposal reportedly covers issues ranging from military de-escalation to humanitarian relief and sanctions relief. While details of the plan have not been made public, officials familiar with the matter said it represents the most comprehensive US initiative to resolve the conflict to date.

Iranian authorities, however, have denied that direct negotiations are taking place. Tehran has consistently rejected claims of backchannel talks, insisting that any discussions must be conducted through intermediaries or international frameworks. Despite this, Trump maintained that progress is being made and suggested that Iran’s leadership is under pressure to secure peace.

The announcement comes amid heightened tensions in the Middle East, where the war has disrupted oil supplies and destabilized regional security. Analysts note that the US proposal could mark a turning point if Iran engages seriously, but skepticism remains high given the history of mistrust between the two nations.

Trump also reiterated his claim that the United States has already “won the war in Iran,” a statement that has drawn criticism from foreign policy experts who argue that the conflict remains unresolved and complex.

The White House has not released the full text of the 15-point plan, but officials indicated that it includes provisions for phased sanctions relief in exchange for verifiable steps by Iran to reduce hostilities. Observers say the proposal could serve as a framework for broader negotiations if both sides agree to engage.

For now, the US administration is positioning the plan as a serious attempt to end the war, while Iran’s public denials highlight the uncertainty surrounding the talks. The coming weeks are expected to determine whether the proposal gains traction or becomes another stalled effort in the long history of US-Iran relations.
