US EditionIran rejects US 15-point ceasefire plan, issues its own demands as strikes land across the Mideast
Iran dismissed the U.S. ceasefire plan as excessive and issued a counterproposal demanding reparations, sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz, and an end to hostilities, officials said.
- On Wednesday, Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters spokesman Lieutenant Ebrahim Zolfaghari publicly rejected a 15-point U.S. ceasefire proposal, taunting Washington in English: "People like us can never get along with people like you."
- Pakistani intermediaries conveyed the U.S. plan on Tuesday, addressing sanctions relief, nuclear rollback, missile limits, and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, but an unnamed Iranian official dismissed it as "excessive and disconnected from reality on the battlefield."
- Tehran outlined five non-negotiable conditions including a complete halt to "aggression and assassinations," guaranteed war reparations, and international recognition of Iranian sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz, declaring "no negotiations will be held prior to" accepting all demands.
- The Pentagon is deploying at least 1,000 troops from the 82nd Airborne Division and approximately 5,000 Marines to the Middle East in coming days, while Iran's death toll passes 1,500 and a drone strike ignites a major fire at Kuwait International Airport.
- With demands irreconcilable, the U.S. faces mounting pressure as Brent crude trades around $100 per barrel—up around 35% since the war began—due to Iran's continued blockade of the Strait of Hormuz disrupting global energy supplies.
