Iran says it sent 10-point response to US war-ending proposal via Pakistan
Iran has conveyed its official response to a US proposal to end the war through Pakistan after weeks of high-level deliberations, the government's news agency IRNA reported, saying Tehran rejected a ceasefire and instead called for a permanent end to the conflict on its own terms.
Iran’s response, which consists of ten points, was finalized following what IRNA described as “comprehensive reviews at the highest levels of the system.”
According to the report, Tehran rejected the idea of a temporary ceasefire, citing past experiences, and stressed the need for a lasting resolution to the war that takes into account Iran’s considerations.
The proposal outlines a set of demands, including an end to hostilities across the region, the establishment of protocols to ensure safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, reconstruction efforts, and the lifting of sanctions.
IRNA said the response was delivered after developments over the weekend in western and central Iran, which it described as demonstrating Iran’s upper hand in the conflict.
The report also referred to what it called a “catastrophic failure” of a US heliborne operation and said US President Donald Trump had distanced himself from earlier threats by extending a repeated deadline.
