US-Iran War Key News
Central News Agency
(Central News Agency, West Palm Beach, May 2, Comprehensive Foreign Report) US President Trump today stated that he would review Iran's latest peace proposal but remained skeptical about its prospects. On the other hand, a senior Iranian military official in Tehran pointed out that renewed conflict was "possible."
Agence France-Presse and CNN cited Iran's Tasnim and Fars news agencies as reporting that Tehran had submitted a 14-point proposal to mediator Pakistan. According to Tasnim, the proposal includes ending conflicts on "all fronts, including Lebanon," and establishing a new governance structure for the strategically important Strait of Hormuz.
Tasnim also cited sources saying that the US had proposed a two-month ceasefire, but Iran believed that "relevant issues should be resolved within 30 days" and that the focus of negotiations should be on "a complete end to the war," rather than just extending a ceasefire.
Iran's 14-point proposal is reportedly a response to the US's nine-point plan, and also involves guarantees against military aggression, the withdrawal of US troops from areas surrounding Iran, the unfreezing of Iranian assets, and the lifting of sanctions.
Iranian officials have not yet publicly commented on the details of the response. US President Donald Trump stated today that he would soon review the plan but believed it would be "hard to imagine this would be acceptable."
Trump posted on his 'Truth Social' platform, saying: "I will soon review the plan just sent by Iran, but it's hard to imagine this will be accepted, because Iran has not paid enough for what they have done to humanity and the world over the past 47 years."
Speaking briefly to the media in West Palm Beach, Florida, he declined to specify what conditions would trigger new US military action against Iran.
He said: "If they misbehave and do something bad, we'll see what happens." He added: "But it is indeed something that could happen."
The US and Israel jointly launched airstrikes against Iran at the end of February this year, and Iran subsequently carried out intensive retaliatory attacks against US facilities in places like the UAE. The war temporarily ceased fire on April 8, with only one round of inconclusive peace talks held in Pakistan during this period.
Mohammad Jafar Asadi, a senior official in Iran's Central Command, stated today, "There is a possibility of renewed conflict between Iran and the United States." Fars news agency reported that he added: "Evidence shows that the United States has not honored any of its promises or agreements."
Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi told diplomats in Tehran, "It is now up to the United States to decide whether to take the diplomatic route or continue confrontation." He emphasized that Iran "is prepared for both scenarios."
Since the outbreak of the war, Iran has continued to control the Strait of Hormuz, causing a significant impact on global oil, natural gas, and fertilizer supplies; at the same time, the US has implemented anti-blockade measures against Iranian ports.
Currently, international oil prices have risen by about 50% compared to pre-war levels. (Compiled by Tsai Chia-min) 1150503
