Iran has presented a 10-point ceasefire plan during a two-week truce with the United States, outlining major conditions including aspects related to uranium enrichment and regional security.
According to reports, Iran’s Supreme National Security Council announced the temporary ceasefire and confirmed that formal talks between Iran and the United States are expected to begin on April 10 in Islamabad. The negotiations will be based on this proposed framework.
However, a significant discrepancy has emerged between the Persian and English versions of the plan. The Persian version reportedly includes provisions allowing uranium enrichment for Iran’s nuclear program, while the English version shared with journalists omits this detail. The reason for this difference remains unclear.
Former US President Donald Trump has criticized the proposal, calling it “deceptive,” although he did not elaborate further. He has consistently maintained that dismantling Iran’s nuclear program entirely remains a key objective.
Key Points of Iran’s 10-Point Plan:
- Shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz should operate under coordination with Iranian forces.
- All military actions against the “Axis of Resistance” in the region must cease.
- The United States must withdraw its forces from all regional bases and positions.
- A secure transit system should be established in the Strait of Hormuz, with Iran playing a central role.
- Iran must receive full compensation for war-related damages.
- All primary and secondary sanctions on Iran should be lifted.
- Iranian assets frozen abroad must be returned.
- These conditions should be formalized through a binding United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolution.
- The United States must provide a written guarantee that it will not attack Iran in the future.
Iran’s National Security Council has urged its citizens to support the diplomatic process. Following the announcement, large crowds reportedly gathered on the streets of Tehran, waving national flags and celebrating the development.
