The terms of the Iranian-released plan, according to a New York Times report citing a US official, do not match those seen by the president.
Iran’s 10-point proposal, which led to the announcement of a temporary two-week ceasefire agreement between the United States and Iran, was released by Iranian state media outlet Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA).
The ceasefire deal was announced on Tuesday, shortly before a deadline outlined by US President Donald Trump for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz was set to expire.
In his announcement of the deal, Trump stated that the Iranian proposal provided a "workable basis on which to negotiate," in which “almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to.”
What was in Iran's ceasefire agreement draft?
The first of Iran’s points, according to IRNA, was the US committing to a stance of non-aggression towards the Iranian regime. The second demanded continued Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz. The third term called for the US to accept Iran’s enrichment of uranium.
The fourth and fifth points of the plan call for the lifting of all primary and secondary sanctions on Iran. The sixth and seventh points demanded the termination of all United Nations Security Council and International Atomic Energy Agency Board of Governors resolutions against the Iranian regime.
Iran’s eighth listed point called for all war damages in Iran to be paid for. The ninth called for the withdrawal of all US military forces in the region, and the tenth demanded the cessation of combat on all fronts of the war, including Israel’s ongoing confrontation with Lebanese terrorist organization, Hezbollah.
Trump has explicitly denied Lebanon's inclusion in the ceasefire agreement, while Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who helped negotiate the ceasefire, initially announced that Lebanon would be included.
According to a Reuters report, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian told Sharif that a ceasefire in Lebanon is an "essential condition" for the agreement to be successful.
Negotiations of plan to take place behind closed doors, Trump states
The terms of the Iranian-released plan, according to a New York Times report citing a US official, do not match those seen by the president.
Trump took to social media to decry the versions of the deal released by media outlets, claiming in a post on Truth Social that “there is only one group of meaningful 'POINTS' that are acceptable to the United States.”
He asserted that all discussions on the points will take place behind closed doors during the upcoming negotiations, which are set to begin on Friday in Islamabad, Pakistan.
Trump additionally threatened legal action against those spreading incorrect versions of the place, claiming that those who do so “will be rapidly exposed after our Federal Investigation is completed.”
