The Islamic Republic's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has confirmed that Washington has finally responded to our 14-point proposal aimed at achieving a lasting peace and ending the imposed war. This response, delivered via Pakistani mediators, is currently under careful review by our officials. It is crucial to understand that our proposal is fundamentally about bringing the conflict to a definitive close, and it does not delve into the intricate details of the nuclear issue, which is a separate matter.
The response from the United States regarding Iran's proposed 14 points has been delivered through Pakistan. We are currently reviewing it and will provide Iran's response after finalizing our assessment.
We must reiterate that the Islamic Republic will not engage in any negotiations that are dictated by ultimatums or artificial deadlines. Such tactics are unacceptable and undermine the very principle of genuine diplomacy. Our stance is firm: we seek a resolution based on mutual respect and a clear understanding of our nation's rights and interests.
The 14-point proposal focuses solely on ending the war and does not include any details on the nuclear issue.
While the US claims to be engaging in "very positive discussions," as President Trump has stated, we remain vigilant. The details of their response will determine the path forward. It is imperative that the US understands that any agreement must address our core concerns, including the lifting of sanctions, the release of our frozen assets, and compensation for the damages incurred. Anything less would be a continuation of the same failed policies that have brought us to this point.
Iran will not accept negotiations that involve ultimatums or forced deadlines.
