US response to Iran’s 14-point proposal under review: spokesman
Iran’s proposal is solely focused on ending US-Israeli war and does not include any provisions related to country’s nuclear program
TEHRAN, Iran (MNTV) — Iran said Sunday that the United States has delivered its response to Tehran’s proposed 14-point plan through Pakistani mediators and that officials are currently reviewing the document.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said in a televised interview that the U.S. reply was handed to Iranian officials via Pakistan, which has acted as a mediator in recent diplomatic contacts.
“The Americans have given their answer to Iran’s 14-point plan to the Pakistani side, and we are currently reviewing it,” Baghaei said.
He stressed that Iran’s proposal is solely focused on ending U.S.-Israeli hostilities in the region and does not include any provisions related to Iran’s nuclear program.
“The plan we have presented is centered on ending the war. There are absolutely no details regarding the country’s nuclear issues in this proposal,” he said.
Baghaei dismissed media reports claiming the plan includes a long-term suspension of Iran’s nuclear activities or joint U.S.-Iran operations in the Strait of Hormuz, calling them “fabricated.”
“These are among the things that I believe are fabricated by the imagination of some media outlets. No such thing exists in the plan,” he said.
He added that nuclear issues raised in recent coverage were part of earlier negotiations with Washington and are not included in the current framework.
“We are not currently engaged in any negotiations over the nuclear issue,” he said, adding that Iran’s focus is on “ending the war in the region, including Lebanon.”
Talks, mediation and conditions
Iranian officials said the proposal envisions an initial cessation of hostilities followed by a 30-day period for reviewing detailed arrangements.
Baghaei said Iran rejects negotiations under ultimatums or imposed deadlines and does not rely on external guarantees for any potential agreement.
“Power on the battlefield and levers are the most important assurances for the implementation of any potential agreement,” he said.
He also confirmed that Iran delivered the plan to Pakistan late Thursday, describing Islamabad as a key intermediary in discussions with the United States.
Broader tensions and ceasefire context
The statement comes amid continued disputes over past negotiations and regional security arrangements involving Iran, the United States and Israel.
Iranian officials have said earlier rounds of talks in Islamabad failed due to “excessive demands” from Washington.
Tehran also reiterated its position that certain conditions, including the lifting of blockade on Iranian ports, would be necessary before any further negotiations and has linked maritime security issues in the Strait of Hormuz to broader diplomatic developments.
Iranian authorities maintain that any future decisions on negotiations will depend on evolving regional conditions, while continuing to emphasize the priority of ending ongoing hostilities.
