US-Iran War Focus News
(Central News Agency, Tehran, 12th, Comprehensive Foreign Report) After US President Trump warned that the Middle East ceasefire was on the verge of collapse, Iran's chief negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf stated today that the US must accept Iran's latest peace proposal, or it will face failure.
According to AFP, Ghalibaf posted on the social media platform X, saying: "There is no other way but to accept the rights of the Iranian people as articulated in the 14-point proposal. Any other approach will be futile and will only lead to repeated failures."
"The longer they drag it out, the higher the price American taxpayers will pay."
Iran submitted its own plan after the US presented an initial proposal, with details not fully disclosed. Media reports indicate that the US plan included a one-page memorandum aimed at ending the fighting and establishing a negotiation framework for Iran's nuclear program.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry stated that Iran's response included demands for an end to the war on all fronts (including Lebanon), the lifting of the US naval blockade on Iranian ports, and the unfreezing of Iranian assets frozen overseas due to long-term sanctions.
However, Donald Trump called Iran's response "completely unacceptable," stating that the US would achieve a complete victory in the fight against Iran and that the ceasefire, which had lasted for over a month, was precarious.
The escalating war of words between the two sides has caused anxiety among Iranians about the situation in the coming months.
Maryam, a 43-year-old painter in Tehran, Iran, told a reporter in Paris: "We can only desperately cling to anything that helps us survive. The future is so unpredictable, we can only live one day at a time."
"We try hard to find ways to move forward. Now, it's very difficult to maintain hope." (Compiler: Yang Chao-yen) 1150512
