Iranian media release details of 10-point peace plan
Quick Read
Iranian officials presented the proposal to Washington as part of a two-week ceasefire, though the government has not formally released the text.
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 (IRGC), said Tehran also demands the lifting of stringent international sanctions and UN Security Council measures.
The plan reportedly seeks the repeal of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) 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.
Meanwhile, crowds poured into the streets of the Iranian capital Tehran after the ceasefire was announced.
Pro-government supporters gathered in the middle of the night at Revolution Square in the city centre, Iranian broadcaster SNN TV reported.
A reporter for the station, which is close to the paramilitary Basij militia, said U.S. President Donald Trump had bowed to Iran’s demands.
Supporters of the government celebrated the ceasefire with the United States.
“The fact that our position in the Strait of Hormuz has been strengthened means Iran’s victory,” one woman told the broadcaster.
“This is our retaliation against someone who claimed to have the largest and most advanced army in the world,” she said, in an apparent reference to Trump. (dpa/NA)
