Tehran’s counter-proposal to the United States’ plan to end the war included recognition of sovereignty over the blockaded Strait of Hormuz and a demand for compensation, Iranian state media reported.
The proposal demands the release of frozen Iranian assets as well as the lifting of sanctions, according to broadcaster IRIB early on Monday.
Iran is also seeking an end to fighting on all fronts, including in Lebanon, reported Reuters, citing Iranian state TV.
Iranian state media reports on the counter-proposal so far did not mention anything about the country’s nuclear program.
US President Donald Trump has dismissed Iranian counter-proposal, which was submitted to the US via Pakistan, calling it “totally unacceptable.”
The US laid out a “very clear red line” in its latest proposal, US ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz said earlier on Sunday. “President (Donald) Trump has been clear they will never have a nuclear weapon and they cannot hold the world’s economies hostage,” Waltz told “Fox News Sunday.”
