The Iranian Foreign Ministry said negotiations would move forward only if Tehran’s conditions are accepted, pointing to a hardening stance as the conflict enters its second month.

Iran on Monday rejected a US-backed ceasefire proposal amid the ongoing conflict in West Asia and instead presented its own 10-point plan to end the war, according to the Iranian state news agency IRNA.

The proposal outlines Tehran’s conditions for a long-term resolution, including a guarantee against future attacks, a permanent end to hostilities rather than a temporary ceasefire, and a halt to Israeli strikes in Lebanon.

It also calls for the lifting of all US sanctions on Iran and an end to regional military action against Iranian allies.

As part of the plan, Iran has linked de-escalation to control over the Strait of Hormuz, stating it would reopen the key shipping route under defined conditions. These include imposing a fee of $2 million per vessel transiting the Strait, sharing the revenue with Oman, and setting rules to ensure safe passage.

Tehran has also proposed using the revenue generated from Hormuz transit fees for reconstruction efforts, instead of seeking reparations.

US Plan ‘Excessively Demanding’

Earlier, Iran described a US proposal, reportedly a 15-point plan conveyed through intermediaries, as “excessively demanding" and unrealistic.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry said negotiations would move forward only if Tehran’s conditions are accepted, pointing to a hardening stance as the conflict enters its second month.

Iran, however, warned that such developments could undermine trust and complicate any negotiation process.
