Iran submitted response to US ceasefire proposal to Pakistani mediators, state media says

Source: The Jerusalem Post - Israel News

Iran's response to the latest US proposal during ceasefire negotiations has been submitted to Pakistani mediators, Tehran's official news agency IRNA reported on Sunday.

According to the Iranian outlet, the negotiations are focusing on "ending the war in the region."

.........

The plan contains three main stages with a 30-day phase aimed at transforming a ceasefire into a complete end to the war. It was presented as a rebuttal to the US's nine-point peace plan.

The Iranian draft reportedly calls for the US to lift sanctions on Iran, end its blockade on Iranian ports, withdraw US forces from the region, and cease all hostilities, including Israel’s war in Lebanon, Al Jazeera reported at the time.

Iran Offers Response to US Peace Plan Proposal, IRNA Reports

Iran has submitted its response to the latest US proposal to end 10 weeks of war, the state-run Islamic Republic News Agency reported on Sunday, without providing any further details.

Tehran hasn’t yet given any public indication it would accept President Donald Trump’s plan that stipulates Iran permits passage through the Strait of Hormuz and Washington ends its blockade on Iranian ports in the next month.

The proposal implies Iran’s acceptance would end the conflict, which has killed thousands of people across the Middle East and sent energy prices soaring. The two sides would still need to negotiate a deal over Iran’s nuclear program, which remains a critical sticking point.

Everything still seems quite vague, and nothing particularly concrete.

It’s like Iran thinks it has cards to play or something.

8. But Israel won't agree to anything. The US and EU have to put extreme financial and diplomatic pressure on Israel.

The Religious Right won't like that. Jews leaving Israel, no red heifer, no rebuilding of Temple, no 2nd Coming in their lifetime.

Putting things back the way they were before trump meddled. I'm sure there will be some nuclear provision, (again--like we had before.) Israel seems intent on taking over the entire region by force, so they'll never sign off on it, although this may be the only chance to rein them in.
