“Trump agreed to these ten clauses as a basis for negotiating a peace agreement: The Iranian 10-point plan: 1. Ensure that Iran will not be subjected to another attack. 2. Bring about a permanent end to the war, not just a temporary ceasefire. 3. Stop Israeli attacks in Lebanon. 4. Remove all American sanctions imposed on Iran. 5. End all regional conflicts with Iran's allies. 6. Reopen the Strait of Hormuz. 7. Impose a fee of two million dollars on every ship passing through the Strait of Hormuz. 8. Share the revenue from this fee with the Sultanate of Oman. 9. Establish rules for safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz. 10. Use the revenue from passage through the Strait of Hormuz for reconstruction purposes, instead of compensation. Abu Bader”

This is the 10 point plan Iran proposed and Trump agreed to use as a jumping off point for negotiations.

It effectively concedes the entire strait to Iran and sets up a toll road where they get to charge $2 million/ship they allow through and get to determine the rules by which it’s maintained.
