Iran has reportedly rejected a United States-backed proposal aimed at ending the ongoing Middle East conflict, according to state media.
Press TV, citing an unidentified senior Iranian official, reported on Wednesday that Tehran declined the peace plan, insisting that the timeline for ending the war rests solely with Iran.
“Iran has responded negatively to an American proposal aimed at ending the ongoing imposed war,” the official said.
“The end of the war will occur when Iran decides it should end, not when Trump envisions its conclusion.”
There has been no formal statement from Iranian authorities regarding the reported proposal. However, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who previously led negotiations with the United States before the outbreak of hostilities, has yet to publicly comment.
The report has been echoed by other Iranian media outlets, including Mehr News Agency and Tasnim News Agency.
Meanwhile, two senior Pakistani officials disclosed that Islamabad had conveyed a 15-point proposal containing US-backed terms to Tehran as part of mediation efforts to end the conflict, which has lasted for nearly a month.
According to the same Iranian official, Tehran has outlined five conditions for ending the war. These include an immediate halt to what it described as aggression and targeted assassinations, as well as the establishment of a credible mechanism to ensure that neither the United States nor Israel resumes hostilities.
Iran is also demanding compensation for damages incurred during the conflict, alongside commitments toward reconstruction.
Additional conditions reportedly include a cessation of hostilities across all regional fronts, including actions against allied “resistance groups,” an apparent reference to the Tehran-backed Hezbollah.
Furthermore, Iran is seeking international recognition of its sovereignty, particularly over the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, a critical global shipping corridor at the center of the ongoing tensions.
