Iran presents new proposal to Pakistani mediator: Report
Iran has reportedly given a new proposal to Pakistan for negotiations with the United States, aiming to put an end to the US-Israeli war of aggression against the Islamic Republic.
Tehran delivered the text of its latest plan to Pakistan Thursday night as a mediator in talks with the United States, the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) reported on Friday.
In a television interview Thursday night, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said the end of the war and sustainable peace are Tehran’s priorities in the talks with Washington.
The United States and Israel launched their unprovoked war of aggression against Iran on February 28. They assassinated Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and struck nuclear facilities, schools, hospitals and civilian infrastructure.
Iran’s Armed Forces responded with 100 waves of retaliatory strikes under Operation True Promise 4, launching hundreds of ballistic and hypersonic missiles, as well as drones, against American military bases across West Asia and Israeli positions throughout the occupied territories.
On April 8, forty days into the war, a Pakistan-brokered temporary ceasefire took effect. Iran and the US held one round of intensive discussions in Islamabad on April 11 aimed at securing a permanent deal but they ended after 21 hours with no breakthrough with Iran citing Washington’s “excessive demands” and insistence on unreasonable positions.
US President Donald Trump on April 21 said that he would indefinitely extend the ceasefire.
Iranian officials have said that Washington should lift its illegal blockade on Iranian ports before the start of new round of talks.
Tehran has also asserted that, as long as the blockade is still in place, it has no intention of reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
The US blockade of Iranian ports has also failed to achieve its stated aim of cutting off Iran’s oil revenues.
