Iranian Media: Reviewing U.S. Response to 14-Point Revised Proposal

"Nuclear Program Excluded from Negotiations"

The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on May 3 (local time) that it had received a response from the United States regarding a 14-point negotiation proposal, which is currently under review through the mediator, Pakistan.

According to Iranian media, including IRIB and Tasnim News Agency, Esmail Baghaei, spokesperson for the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stated, "Iran is reviewing the U.S. response delivered via Pakistan."

He emphasized, "Iran's 14-point proposal is focused on ending the war," and added, "This proposal does not address nuclear issues." He further stated, "Claims regarding the removal of mines in the Strait of Hormuz are fabrications by the media."

Recently, Iran presented a revised negotiation proposal consisting of 14 points as a counteroffer to the 9-point ceasefire conditions suggested by the United States. Iran's proposal reportedly includes demands such as: ▲compensation for war damages, ▲guarantees to prevent a recurrence of military aggression, ▲lifting of sanctions against Iran, and ▲establishment of a new mechanism for the Strait of Hormuz, among others.

Iran maintains the position that the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the cessation of hostilities should be agreed upon first, followed by negotiations on its nuclear program. In contrast, the United States remains firm that Iran must first abandon its nuclear program and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
