Iran Replies to US Proposal: Source

An informed source told Tasnim that Iran's response to the 15 proposed points from the United States was officially sent through intermediaries on Wednesday night, adding that Tehran is awaiting a response.

According to the source, Iran has made it clear in its response that the enemy's aggressive acts of assassination must end, concrete conditions should be established to ensure that war does not recur again, compensation and war reparations must be guaranteed and clearly determined, and the end of the war should be implemented on all fronts and for all resistance groups that took part in this battle throughout the region.

The source added that Iran's sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz is a natural and legal right of Iran and will continue to be, and it is also a guarantee of the implementation of the commitments of the other party and must be recognized. The source noted that these are Iran's conditions, apart from the demands made during the second round of nuclear negotiations in Geneva --held a few days before the US-Israeli war of aggression in February.

The source emphasized that it is clear to Iran that the US’ claim about negotiations is merely a "third deception" project, saying the Americans pursue several goals under the guise of claiming negotiations: First; to deceive the world by presenting an apparently peaceful image that seeks an end to the war. Second; to keep oil prices low globally. Third; to buy time in order to prepare for a new aggressive action in southern Iran through ground invasion.

The source explained that if Iran had doubts about the results of the negotiations and America's adherence to agreements before the 12-day war in June 2025, it now has complete doubts regarding America's willingness to negotiate at any point.

Both during the 12-day war and the ongoing war, the Americans started the war while negotiating, the source stated, adding that this time as well, the Americans are seeking to pave the way for new crimes under the false pretense of negotiations.
