Iran says US accepts 10-point plan for ending war
Iran said early Wednesday that the United States has “in principle” accepted a 10-point proposal aimed at ending the war, according to reports by the state-run Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) network.
Iran’s Supreme National Security Council said in a statement that the proposal would serve as the framework for negotiations aimed at finalizing a broader agreement, though it did not publicly detail all elements of the plan.
IRIB, citing the statement and related rereports said the proposal includes guarantees of non-aggression against Iran, continued Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz, recognition of Tehran’s right to uranium enrichment, the lifting of all US primary and secondary sanctions, the termination of UN Security Council and International Atomic Energy Agency Board of Governors resolutions against Iran, payment of compensation, the withdrawal of US combat forces from the region, and ending hostilities across all fronts, including in Lebanon.
The council said the talks do not mean the war has ended, stressing that any final agreement depends on securing Iran’s conditions and finalizing details.
It added that safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz would be ensured during the negotiation period through coordination with Iran’s armed forces.
The negotiations are scheduled to begin on Friday in Islamabad under Pakistan’s mediation and will last up to two weeks, with the possibility of an extension by mutual agreement.
US President Donald Trump said earlier that Washington would suspend attacks on Iran for two weeks, describing Tehran’s proposal as a “workable basis” for negotiations.
