IRAN'S RESPONSE TO U.S. PROPOSAL TO END WAR HAS BEEN SENT THROUGH PAKISTAN: IRNA

ACCORDING TO THE PROPOSED PLAN, AT THIS STAGE, NEGOTIATIONS WILL FOCUS ON THE ISSUE OF ENDING THE WAR IN THE REGION.

In addition to the Al Kharaitiyat, Pakistan expects three other vessels with Qatari LNG to attempt to transit the Strait of Hormuz in the coming days, according to people familiar with Islamabad’s planning. One such ship, the Mihzem, approached the strait on Sunday: FT

But still this is happening meanwhile:
- Iranian drones over the UAE, and Kuwait.
- Cargo ship targeted off the coast of Qatar.

TRUMP: I DID NOT SAY THAT COMBAT OPERATIONS AGAINST IRAN HAVE ENDED, BUT I SAID THEY WERE DEFEATED

TRUMP: WE WILL OBTAIN THE ENRICHED URANIUM. IF ANYONE TRIES TO GET CLOSE THERE - WE WILL BLOW THEM UP

TRUMP: WE CAN MOVE AGAINST IRAN MILITARILY FOR AN ADDITIONAL TWO WEEKS AND STRIKE EVERY SPECIFIED TARGET

A DIPLOMATIC SOURCE TELLS AL-MAYADEEN:

IRANIAN RESPONSE INCLUDES THESE DEMANDS:
- END TO U.S. BLOCKADE
- CEASEFIRE IN LEBANON
- LIFTING OF RESTRICTIONS ON OIL EXPORTS
- REMOVAL OF SANCTIONS
- THAWING OF FROZEN IRANIAN ASSETS
- CONTROL OVER THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ

THE PROPOSAL INCLUDES NEGOTIATIONS FOR 30 DAYS AFTER THE END OF THE WAR TO DISCUSS THE DETAILS OF THE DEAL

Nuclear issues would be negotiated over the next 30 days, they said. Iran proposes to have some of its highly enriched uranium diluted and the rest transferred to a third country, the people said: WSJ

Iran is proposing an end to the fighting and a gradual opening of the Strait of Hormuz to commercial traffic as the U.S. lifts its blockade on Iranian ships and ports, the people said.

Iran also said it was willing to suspend enrichment of uranium but for a shorter period than the 20-year moratorium proposed by the U.S., they said. Iran rejected dismantling its nuclear facilities, they said.

Iran's response to 30d negotiations proposal:

demands:
- End to U.S. blockade (easy)
- Ceasefire in Lebanon (easy)
- Removal of sanctions (easy)
- Thawing of frozen Iranian assets (easy)
- Control over SOH (red line for U.S)
- guarantees against renewed aggression
- no dismantling of nuclear facilities (red line ?)

In return iran will:
- gradually open SOH (easy but control?)
- dilute some of highly enriched uranium & transfer rest to a 3rd country (can be done & china??)
- suspend enrichment of uranium for (5y vs 20y?) (probably not?)

*IRAN TEXT DEMANDS GUARANTEES AGAINST RENEWED AGGRESSION, LIFTING OF US SANCTIONS, AND IRANIAN MANAGEMENT OF STRAIT OF HORMUZ

TRUMP: I HAVE JUST READ THE RESPONSE FROM IRAN’S SO-CALLED “REPRESENTATIVES.” I DON’T LIKE IT — TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!

IRAN REJECTED THE US PROPOSAL: IRIB
