According to reporting by The New York Times, Saudi Arabia’s Mohammed bin Salman has urged US President Trump in recent conversations to continue military action against Iran, framing the US-Israeli campaign as a “historic opportunity” to reshape the Middle East.
The report, based on interviews with people briefed by American officials, says Prince Mohammed has, over the past week, encouraged Trump to intensify pressure aimed at the collapse of Iran’s hard-line leadership.

Saudi officials, reportedly, strongly rejected the characterization, saying the kingdom has consistently supported a peaceful resolution to the conflict. In a statement, they said Saudi Arabia remains in close contact with the Trump administration and that its position “remains unchanged.”
The New York Times noted that its reporting was based on accounts from individuals familiar with conversations involving American officials, speaking anonymously due to the sensitivity of discussions between world leaders.
The plan, which was delivered to Iran via Pakistan, reportedly addresses Iran’s ballistic missile and nuclear programs, as well as issues regarding the Strait of Hormuz.
According to N12 News, citing three sources familiar with the details of the potential plan, the US is considering declaring a month-long ceasefire during which negotiations on the agreement would take place.
According to N12, the proposed plan would also require the Iranian regime to stop financing and arming all proxies in the region.
The Strait of Hormuz, according to N12’s sources, would be declared a free maritime zone and remain open under the potential deal.
US-Iran negotiations ongoing, Trump says
“We’re actually talking to the right people, and they want to make a deal so badly, you have no idea how badly they want to make a deal,” Trump said.
Trump stated that Iran had already agreed to halt their pursuit of nuclear weapons and that the US was in a “good bargaining position” for negotiations.
“There won’t be any nuclear weapons. Iran has agreed to that. We’re in a good bargaining position. We’re way ahead of schedule, and they have no navy, air force, or missile protection. Most of their launches we’ve killed.”
