🔴 Baqaei: U.S. Response to Iran’s Proposal Is Insufficient

🔹 Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei said: Tehran is reviewing Washington’s response to Iran’s seven-day proposal and will convey its position to mediators once the assessment is complete. He confirms that the exchange of messages through mediators is continuing.

🔹 Iran’s proposal calls for lifting the naval blockade, ending the war on all fronts, releasing Iranian assets, and implementing all commitments agreed upon in the Islamabad memorandum of understanding, Baqaei says, stressing that Tehran’s position on its legitimate rights remains unchanged.

🔹 Baqaei said all newly imposed U.S. sanctions must also be lifted. He points to what he describes as a contradiction in Washington’s position, noting that US officials have repeatedly said Iran’s nuclear program was destroyed while continuing to raise concerns about an alleged Iranian nuclear weapons threat.
