The Islamic Republic of Iran News Agency reported that Iran had sent Pakistan, which acts as a mediator between Tehran and Washington, its response to the ceasefire proposal.
The plan conveyed by Iran consists of ten points. In it, Tehran rejected the temporary truce proposal, saying it was necessary to achieve a permanent end to the war instead.
Iran also demands the lifting of sanctions and the establishment of a protocol for the safe passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz.
Reuters earlier wrote on April 6 that Pakistan had handed over its version of the peace plan to the United States and Iran. It calls for an immediate ceasefire and the start of active negotiations lasting 15 to 20 days to discuss a broader peace agreement.
The United States and Iran, with the participation of regional mediators, are also discussing the terms of a 45-day ceasefire, Axios wrote. The publication described this as a “last attempt to avoid a dangerous escalation” – and according to it, the United States and Israel already have a plan to launch large-scale attacks on Iranian energy.
US President Donald Trump promised that “all hell will fall on Iran” if Tehran does not open shipping through the Strait of Hormuz soon. Trump’s deadline ends Wednesday night, April 8.
