Iran has provided a detailed explanation of its 14-point proposal sent to the United States, according to Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei. Speaking from Tehran, he said the proposal’s main objective is to end the war and reach an agreement. However, the most complex and sensitive issues have been deferred to a later stage for further discussion.
Baghaei explained that the plan will proceed in two phases. The first phase involves achieving a ceasefire and reaching an agreement, while the second phase, beginning within 30 days, will focus on implementing the agreement and addressing remaining matters. He emphasized that Iran’s security guarantees stem from its own strength and influence, particularly its control over the Strait of Hormuz.
Addressing speculation about the 30-day timeframe, Baghaei clarified that it is not a strict deadline or ultimatum but part of a continuous negotiation process. The proposal’s central focus remains on halting the war and maintaining Iran’s negotiating position from a stance of strength.
