Summary The United States has yet to formally confirm whether it has responded to Tehran’s proposal, though President Donald Trump has indicated reservations about the plan
(Web Desk) – Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said the United States has conveyed its response to Iran’s proposed 14-point plan through Pakistan, adding that the reply is currently under review in Tehran.
The United States has yet to formally confirm whether it has responded to Tehran’s proposal, though President Donald Trump has indicated reservations about the plan.
In an interview with Israel’s Kan News on Sunday, Trump reportedly described the Iranian proposal as “unacceptable.” Iranian state media, however, said the 14-point peace plan calls on Washington to withdraw forces from near Iran’s borders, lift its naval blockade of Iranian ports, and ensure a cessation of hostilities, including Israel’s military operations in Lebanon. The proposal also seeks a comprehensive agreement within 30 days and urges both sides to prioritise ending the conflict rather than prolonging the current ceasefire.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Baghaei was quoted as saying that “at this stage, we do not have nuclear negotiations,” referring to a key US demand. Tehran has consistently denied pursuing nuclear weapons, maintaining that its programme is for peaceful purposes, despite concerns over its enrichment activities.
Meanwhile, Trump announced that the US would assist ships stranded in the Strait of Hormuz, saying Washington would ensure safe passage through restricted waterways under an initiative dubbed “Project Freedom.” He warned that any interference would be met with a strong response.
Maritime traffic through the strait has been significantly disrupted since the conflict began in February, with Iran restricting movement and the US enforcing a naval blockade on Iranian ports.
Earlier, Trump confirmed that Washington had received Iran’s latest proposal and said he would review it, though he expressed scepticism about its acceptability, stating that Iran had yet to “pay a big enough price” for its actions.
