Iran Announces Review of U.S. Proposals

On Saturday, Iran’s Supreme National Security Council announced that they are reviewing new proposals from the United States. The council stated that recent proposals were presented by Washington during mediation efforts involving Pakistan.

“No Compromise in Iranian Interests”

The council emphasized that Iran’s negotiating delegation will not make even the slightest compromise and will defend with all its strength the interests of the Iranian nation.

U.S. Proposals Initiated Early

According to the statement, the United States had begun sending messages as early as the 10th day of the conflict, seeking a ceasefire and talks. By the 40th day, US President Donald Trump had accepted a 10-point framework aimed at halting the war.

Negotiations Under Pakistan’s Mediation

Iran agreed to negotiations under Pakistan’s mediation, and a 21-hour round of talks was held. However, it ended without any breakthrough after what Tehran described as additional demands from the US side.

Conditional Reopening of Strait of Hormuz

Iran said negotiations would only resume if Washington refrains from what it called “excessive demands” and aligns with “realities on the ground.” Iran also confirmed that it had demanded a ceasefire in Lebanon as part of its conditions, claiming Israel initially violated the terms before eventually agreeing to a truce.

Maritime Tensions Remain

On the maritime front, Iran said it has decided to conditionally reopen the Strait of Hormuz for commercial vessels under the supervision of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. However, it warned that continued US naval blockade of Iranian ports constitutes a violation of ceasefire understandings.
