Iran has officially responded to the "15-point plan": deeming the U.S. negotiation statement as a mere "third deception."

March 26 – Iran has officially submitted its response to the U.S.’s 15-point proposal through intermediaries, per Iran’s Tasnim News Agency. Sources note the reply was sent last night, and Tehran is now awaiting a U.S. response. Key demands in Iran’s response include: - An end to hostile terrorist acts; - Establishing objective conditions to prevent future wars; - Clear guarantees on war reparations and compensation; - A synchronized ceasefire across all regional frontlines and among all combatant resistance groups. Sources also stressed Iran’s sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz is a natural, legal right—critical to ensuring the other party upholds its commitments—and that this right must be recognized. Iran has labeled U.S. negotiation statements a “third deception” scheme with three core goals: - Deceiving the international community with a fabricated peace gesture; - Driving down global oil prices; - Buying time for an aggressive U.S. ground invasion from southern Iran.
