Iranian media releases details on 10-point peace plan
Iran’s 10-point draft plan that it presented to the United States calls for a permanent halt to hostilities, continued control of the Strait of Hormuz, and the right to enrich uranium, the Tasnim news agency reported on Wednesday.
Iranian officials presented the proposal to Washington as part of a two-week ceasefire, though the government has not formally released the text.
The Tasnim news agency, which is close to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, said Tehran also demanded the lifting of stringent international sanctions and UN Security Council measures.
The plan reportedly seeks the repeal of International Atomic Energy Agency board resolutions, war reparations, and the withdrawal of U.S. forces from the region.
It envisions an end to fighting on all fronts, including in Lebanon.
The Fars news agency provided similar details, adding that Iran would commit not to develop nuclear weapons.
Uranium enrichment would be limited through future negotiations and Tehran would engage with other regional countries to pursue peace agreements.
U.S. President Donald Trump said the plan provides a “workable basis” for negotiations and both sides are expected to press on with talks during the ceasefire period.
