On the 11th, US President Trump told the media at the White House that the current ceasefire agreement between the United States and Iran was still effective but extremely fragile, and was on “life support.”
Trump stated that the core of the US proposal is that Iran must never possess nuclear weapons. However, Iran did not make such a commitment in its response.
According to reports by Iranian media on the 10th, Iran has formally submitted its response to Pakistan, the mediator, regarding the latest US proposal aimed at ending hostilities. The response focuses on ending the war as well as maritime security in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz. Trump subsequently posted on social media that he was dissatisfied with Iran’s response, calling it completely unacceptable.
Qalibaf: US Must Accept Rights for the Iranian People as Proposed in the Plan
Iranian Parliament Speaker Qalibaf posted on social media in the early hours of the 12th local time, stating that the United States must accept all the rights of the Iranian people as outlined in Iran’s “14-point” plan.
He stated that this is the only realistic path forward, and any deviation from this framework is unlikely to yield meaningful results and will only lead to repeated failure.
He also pointed out that the longer the US government delays, the greater the cost for American taxpayers.
According to media reports, there are currently two sets of “14-point” proposals between the US and Iran. Iran’s “14-point” plan is divided into three stages and includes provisions such as transitioning from a temporary ceasefire to a full cessation of hostilities within 30 days and establishing a new management mechanism for the Strait of Hormuz. In contrast, the US “14-point” plan is a one-page memorandum of understanding with two core points: first, Iran opens the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for the US gradually lifting the maritime blockade; second, Iran restricts its nuclear program in exchange for the US partially lifting sanctions.
