In a reported statement from Press TV, Iran has formally rejected US President Trump’s 15-point plan to end the ongoing war, asserting that the American proposals are incompatible with Tehran's conditions for peace.
An unnamed senior political-security official from Iran outlined five stipulations necessary for negotiations, which notably include the demand for reparations for damages incurred during the conflict.
The US plan, unveiled by Israel’s Channel 12, requests commitments from Iran such as halting its nuclear weapons development, reopening the strategic Strait of Hormuz, and curtailing its missile program. These proposed demands, however, starkly contrast with Iran's own list.
The war began on February 28 after US and Israeli air strikes prompted Iran to escalate its military actions against American allies in the Gulf region.
In the latest developments, Trump characterized Iran as “desperate” for dialogue, suggesting that Iranian negotiators had offered the US significant concessions related to oil and maritime issues, though specifics were not disclosed.
However, Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf dismissed any ideas of negotiations, attributing reports of talks to misinformation aimed at manipulating global markets effectively, echoing the official stance of avoiding US engagement at this time.
As tensions mount, with Iran under continuous military pressure from Israel, the prospect of negotiations remains uncertain. Both factions seem to be non-compliant with each other's demands, indicating that a resolution to the war is not on the immediate horizon.
