After the announcement of a ceasefire, the prospect of a lasting agreement between Iran and the United States remains uncertain, but Tehran has already laid the groundwork for future discussions. In a message relayed by state media, the Iranian Supreme National Security Council outlined a ten-point proposal, presented as a framework for negotiations.
Among the major requirements are the continued enrichment of uranium, the complete lifting of sanctions, both primary and secondary, as well as a commitment to non-aggression from Washington. Iran also emphasizes the need to maintain its strategic control of the Strait of Hormuz and calls for the repeal of several international resolutions against it, as well as the withdrawal of US forces from the region.
Context: Proposal presented by the Iranian Supreme National Security Council for negotiations with the United States.
Fact check: The claim that the US will take Iran’s uranium if they do not comply has been made by American officials including Donald Trump and Minister of Defense Pete Hegseth.
Meetings planned in Pakistan for further discussions, with President Trump confirming receipt of the proposal and describing it as a “viable foundation” for reaching an agreement. He mentioned a two-week deadline for finalizing negotiations.
A meeting is scheduled in Pakistan to continue discussions. However, the issue of uranium enrichment remains central and sensitive: on BFM, nuclear deterrence specialist Lova Rinel sees it as a major concession to Iran, while limiting their nuclear capabilities has been an objective for Washington. President Trump quickly brushed this point aside on Truth social this Wednesday. “There will be no enrichment of uranium, and the United States will clear away the nuclear ‘dust’ linked to the bombing of strategic sites by the United States,” wrote Donald Trump. “If Iran does not surrender its uranium, the United States will ‘take it,'” also affirmed US Defense Minister Pete Hegseth at a press conference.
On his social network, he also stated that negotiations with Iran will include reducing US sanctions and addressing the issue of tariffs. His country will work “closely” with Iran, he assures. He also threatened to impose a 50% tariff on all countries providing weapons to Iran, “without exception or exemption.”
