US, Iran weigh peace plan as Trump's 'hell' warning nears deadline

DUBAI/WASHINGTON, April 6 (Reuters) - With a U.S. deadline approaching, the United States and Iran received the framework of a plan to end their five‑week-old conflict, though Tehran rejected any immediate move to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

President Donald Trump has threatened to rain "hell" on Tehran if it did not make a deal by the end of Tuesday that would allow traffic to ‌start moving again through the vital route for global energy supplies.

The Pakistani-brokered plan emerged from intense overnight contacts and proposes an immediate ceasefire, followed by negotiations on a broader settlement to be ‌concluded within 15 to 20 days, a source aware of the proposals said on Monday.

Pakistan's army chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, was in contact "all night long" with U.S. Vice President JD Vance, special envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, the source said.
