Iran has presented the United States with its own ten-point plan which, according to Iranian officials, is intended to serve as the basis for ending confrontation and moving toward political settlement. The document covers military, sanctions, and regional issues and reflects Tehran’s strategic priorities.

Among the key provisions of the Iranian initiative is a formal commitment by the United States to refrain from aggression against the country, recognition of Iran’s right to enrich uranium, and the full lifting of all primary and secondary sanctions. A separate clause calls for the termination of UN Security Council resolutions and decisions of the IAEA Board of Governors related to Iran’s nuclear program.

Iran also insists on maintaining control over the Strait of Hormuz, which it views as a strategically important transport corridor. The document includes a demand for the withdrawal of US military forces from the region and the payment of compensation for damage inflicted on the country.

The regional section of the initiative includes the cessation of hostilities on all fronts, including Lebanon, as well as overall de-escalation and an end to confrontation in Western Asia. In this way, the plan addresses not only bilateral relations with the United States but also the broader geopolitical context.

At the same time, the Iranian side rejected the fifteen-point plan proposed by the United States. According to available information, the American document envisaged the dismantling of part of Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, the transfer of enriched uranium stockpiles, restrictions on its missile program, and a temporary truce.

The differences in approaches reflect the depth of disagreement between the sides. It remains unclear whether the exchange of initiatives will lead to real negotiations or become another stage in diplomatic confrontation.
