It all starts with the fact that they cannot have atomic weapons.... I was asked about the top 10 points. I said, well, number one, 2 and 3 are [the Iranians] can't have atomic weapons and they won't have them, and that's what we're talking about. I don't want to talk in advance, but they agreed they would never have atomic weapons. – provided Trump during the interview with journalists.
Donald Trump announced in the Oval Office that Vice president J.D. Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and another administrative representatives are having talks with Iran, adding that he is of good thought about his chances of reaching an agreement.
On Monday, Trump stressed respective times that the talks with Iran were going well and constructively, suggesting that they could rapidly bring an end to the conflict.
15-point peace plan
The United States was to give Iran a set of conditions to bring the conflict to an end. This information was provided by the fresh York Times citing 2 co-workers of Donald Trump. According to the newspaper, a 15-point peace plan went to Tehran via Pakistan. The media reports that the US is demanding, among others, the reopening of the Ormuz Strait, the cessation of support for armed groups in the region and the cessation of the uranium enrichment programme in the Natanz and Fordow centres.
It is not known how widely the paper was sent among the Iranian authorities or whether Tehran would treat it as a basis for conversation.
War continues, prices rise
The mediate East conflict is clearly affecting global oil and gas prices. Iran halted gas supply to Turkey after the Israeli attack on South Pars deposits last week. It is the largest known natural gas deposits in the world. According to the Turkish Earth Gas Distributors Association data, in 2025 about 14 percent of the gas consumed in Turkey came from Iran.
The global Energy Agency has announced that, in the face of the worsening energy crisis, it is ready to launch additional oil reserves. The MAE director, Fatih Birol, during his visit to Tokyo stressed that the organization would intervene if the marketplace situation forced this. In early March, MAE states released 400 million barrels of oil from their strategical resources – it was the largest operation of this kind in the past of the agency.
