Iran has rejected a 15-point peace plan submitted by the United States, Iranian state television reported on Wednesday. Officials in Tehran said the package was reviewed and deemed excessive, and that current defensive operations would continue until Iran's stated conditions are fulfilled.
An unnamed official, cited by Iranian media, said Iran has informed regional mediators that it intends to continue defending itself and will refuse any timeline for ending the conflict set by the Trump administration. The official emphasized that Tehran will not permit such a timeline to be imposed externally.
According to the same reports, Iran judged the U.S. proposals to be exaggerated after an internal review. The official was quoted as saying that the war will end only at a time determined by Iran and only if Iran's conditions are met.
Iranian state broadcaster PressTV outlined five specific conditions Tehran has attached to any cessation of hostilities. Those conditions are:
- A full halt to attacks and assassinations;
- Guarantees that the conflict will not be restarted;
- Payment of damages and reparations;
- An end to fighting across all fronts;
- Recognition of Iran's authority over the Strait of Hormuz.
The statements reported by Iranian media make clear that Tehran views the acceptance of these conditions as a prerequisite for any end to the conflict. Iranian officials communicated these positions to regional mediators while rejecting the substance of the U.S. offer.
PressTV and Iranian state television served as the primary sources for the account presented by Tehran, reporting both the rejection of the U.S. plan and the country’s list of demands that would need to be satisfied before hostilities cease.
Summary: Iranian state media reports that Iran has rejected a 15-point U.S. peace plan, saying it is exaggerated. Tehran says it will continue defensive operations until five conditions are met, including a halt to attacks, reparations, an end to fighting on all fronts, and recognition of authority over the Strait of Hormuz. Iran notified regional mediators that it will not accept a U.S.-imposed timeline for ending the conflict.
