Tehran: Iran has announced that it has accepted a 10 point peace plan and described the development as a historic victory, following weeks of rising tensions and military confrontation with the United States.
Iranian officials said the agreement comes after sustained pressure and resistance, which they claim forced a shift from military action to dialogue. The announcement follows a temporary two week ceasefire between Iran and the United States, creating space for diplomatic talks.
According to Iranian authorities, the peace plan includes major demands such as lifting economic sanctions, preventing future attacks on Iran, and recognising its role in regional security. The plan also calls for the release of frozen Iranian assets and compensation for damages caused during the conflict.
Another key part of the proposal is related to the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global oil route. Iran has sought greater control and oversight in the area, along with economic rights linked to maritime traffic.
The plan also touches on Iran’s nuclear programme. Tehran has insisted on its right to continue nuclear development under international recognition, while calling for an end to restrictions imposed by global powers.
Despite Iran’s strong claims, the United States has taken a more cautious position. Officials in Washington have said the proposal could serve as a starting point for negotiations, but they have not agreed to all the conditions put forward by Iran.
The ceasefire remains temporary and fragile, with both sides expected to enter formal talks soon. Observers say many of the demands in the plan may face resistance, especially those related to sanctions and military presence in the region.
At the same time, both Iran and the United States are presenting the current situation as a success to their domestic audiences, highlighting the complex political nature of the conflict.
The coming days are expected to be crucial as negotiations begin. The outcome will determine whether the current pause in fighting can lead to a lasting agreement or if tensions will rise again.
