Fars: Iran submits 14-point response to US proposal

TEHRAN, May 03 (YPA) – Iran has submitted a 14-point response to a US proposal on ending the war through a Pakistani intermediary, Fars news agency reported on Saturday.

Iran’s proposal was submitted through a Pakistani intermediary and calls for “ending the war on all fronts, including Lebanon”.

The agency reported that the US proposed a two-month ceasefire, but that Iran believes “that the issues should be resolved within 30 days” and that negotiations should focus on the “termination of the war” rather than extending a ceasefire.

Iranian officials have not yet publicly commented on the details of the reported response.

US President Donald Trump stated Saturday that he would soon review the plan but that he “can’t imagine that it would be acceptable”.

The response follows a nine-point US proposal, the agency reported, and addresses topics like guarantees against military onslaught and the withdrawal of US military personnel from the region surrounding Iran.

The response also includes the release of frozen Iranian assets, the removal of sanctions, and calls for the introduction of a “new mechanism for the Strait of Hormuz”.
