Bekayi further dismissed reports of Iran's commitment to mine clearance in the Strait of Hormuz as "media fabrications," asserting that the proposal's focus remains strictly on ending the conflict. He underscored that Iran does not fundamentally accept negotiations conducted under ultimatum and believes the guarantee for any potential agreement lies in the country's strength on the ground. This stance reflects Iran's strategic positioning, emphasizing its defensive capabilities and its conditions for engaging in diplomatic processes, particularly with the U.S. The Iranian perspective prioritizes national sovereignty and security, framing any diplomatic overtures within the context of its regional influence and military readiness.
14 maddelik önerisi savaşın sona erdirilmesine odaklanmıştır. Önerilen çerçeve öncelikle bir duraklama ve ardından 30 günlük bir süre zarfında ayrıntıların ele alınması üzerine kuruludur. Nükleer mesele bu maddelerde yer almamaktadır. İran'ın Hürmüz Boğazı'ndaki mayınları temizlemeyi taahhüt ettiği yönündeki iddialar, medyanın uydurmasıdır.
