Reza Amiri Moghadam, the Iranian ambassador to Pakistan, announced Thursday that the delegation will arrive in Pakistan tonight to negotiate based on the 10-point plan proposed by Iran.
“Despite the skepticism of public opinion in Iran due to the repeated violations of the ceasefire by the Zionist regime, which are aimed at sabotaging this diplomatic initiative, the Iranian delegation, at the invitation of Mr. Shahbaz Sharif, the honorable Prime Minister (of Pakistan), will arrive in Islamabad tonight for serious talks based on the 10-point plan proposed by Iran,” Amiri Moghadam wrote in a post on X.
The Iranian envoy later deleted his post.
The US and the Israeli regime launched a large-scale unprovoked military campaign against Iran following the assassination of then Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, along with several senior military commanders and civilians on February 28.
In retaliation, Iranian Armed Forces launched attacks on American and Israeli positions in the region, demonstrating their capability to strike back effectively. Despite initial expectations by the attackers of a swift victory, the Iranian response proved significantly more potent, inflicting heavy damage on US and Israeli military resources while rallying the nation's unity and resistance.
While the US president had issued an ultimatum, Pakistani mediation facilitated an agreement for a two-week ceasefire during which negotiations would take place in Islamabad. Iran has proposed a ten-point plan as the foundation for discussions, seeking terms such as the withdrawal of US forces from the region, lifting sanctions, and establishing control over the Strait of Hormuz.
The Supreme National Security Council of Iran emphasized on April 8 that the aggression led to a historic victory for Iran, compelling the US to accept negotiation terms, including a plan for guaranteed non-aggression and the cessation of hostilities.
Iran has stressed that the negotiations would not signify an end to the conflict but rather an extension of the battlefield into diplomatic efforts, with a clear stance of distrust towards the US.
