U.S.-Iran War Key News
Central News Agency
(Central News Agency, Washington, 10th, comprehensive foreign report) After Iran responded to the U.S. peace proposal through Pakistan, U.S. President Donald Trump immediately publicly rejected it, describing Iran's response as "completely unacceptable," adding new variables to the already fragile ceasefire and negotiation prospects.
According to reports from the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), Agence France-Presse (AFP), and The Associated Press (AP), Iran, through mediator Pakistan, replied to the latest U.S. peace proposal, warning that if the U.S. launched a new round of attacks, Iran would not stand idly by, nor would it allow more foreign warships into the Strait of Hormuz.
Semi-official Iranian media such as Tasnim News Agency pointed out that Tehran's proposal included an immediate ceasefire on all fronts, including Lebanon, an end to the U.S. naval blockade against Iran, and guarantees against further attacks on Iran.
The U.S. and Israel launched airstrikes against Iran at the end of February and announced a ceasefire in April to advance negotiations to end the war. Although the Iranian front largely maintained a ceasefire, Israel continued to engage with Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon.
In addition, according to sources quoted by The Wall Street Journal, Iran's demands to the U.S. also included diluting part of its highly enriched uranium and transferring the remainder to a third country.
According to The Wall Street Journal's sources, Iran demanded U.S. assurances that if negotiations failed or if Washington later withdrew from the agreement, this transferred uranium must be returned to Iran.
Furthermore, Iranian state television reported that Tehran insisted on "the U.S. paying war reparations, Iran's complete sovereign control over the Strait of Hormuz, an end to sanctions, and the release of seized Iranian assets."
The details of Iran's response were not exhaustive; however, the U.S. proposal reportedly focused on extending the ceasefire in the Persian Gulf region to allow for final agreement negotiations to end the conflict and address Iran's disputed nuclear program.
Trump himself did not disclose the specific content of Iran's response, but he posted on his Truth Social platform, clearly stating that he rejected Iran's proposal.
He wrote: "I have just read the response from Iran's so-called 'representatives.' I don't like it. Completely unacceptable!"
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz stated earlier in an interview with ABC that Trump was giving diplomacy every possible chance before returning to a state of hostility.
Iranian state television reported that Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, who has not been seen or heard from publicly since the war broke out, recently met with military operational commanders and "issued new important instructions, demanding continued fighting and strong confrontation against the enemy," but did not disclose details.
