Islamabad, April 8: Iran’s Supreme National Security Council announced on Wednesday that the two-week ceasefire with the United States does not signify the end of the war, as discussions on the details of its 10-point proposal are still pending.
According to Iran’s semi-official news agency, Mehr, the proposal includes several key demands. These are continuous Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz, recognition of Iran’s rights to nuclear enrichment, the removal of all primary sanctions, the lifting of all secondary sanctions, and the annulment of all United Nations Security Council resolutions against Iran. Additionally, Iran seeks a commitment from the U.S. to refrain from any further aggressive actions and to terminate all proposals from the International Atomic Energy Agency’s Board of Governors against Iran.
The demands also encompass compensation for damages incurred during the war, the withdrawal of U.S. combat forces from the region, and the cessation of hostilities on all fronts, including Lebanon. The Council issued a statement confirming U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement of a two-week ceasefire.
The statement highlighted that Iran has achieved a significant victory, compelling the U.S. to accept its 10-point plan. This plan emphasizes the need to end hostilities against the controlled routes in the Strait of Hormuz and all elements of resistance.
Iran claims that the U.S. has accepted its 10-point plan as a basis for negotiations. The statement further noted that under the leadership of Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei and with the approval of the Supreme National Security Council, Iran will negotiate the details of the ceasefire with the U.S. in Islamabad.
The statement indicated that these talks, marked by deep distrust towards the U.S. side, will commence on Friday, April 10, in Islamabad, with Iran allowing a two-week timeframe for discussions. This period may be extended by mutual agreement. Iran has also called for a binding resolution from the United Nations Security Council, which would convert all agreements with the U.S. into binding international law.
It was emphasized that the ceasefire does not equate to the end of the war or the conclusion of ongoing discussions regarding the 10-point plan. The statement urged Iranians to trust and support the negotiation process, which is being conducted under the oversight of the Supreme Leader and the highest levels of the regime.
