Iran Slams U.S. 15-Point Peace Initiative as “Unreasonable”
Spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei made the comments during a weekly press briefing in Tehran, addressing the 15-point plan the United States sent via intermediaries aimed at ending the ongoing Middle East conflict.
Unlike Washington, "which constantly changes its positions, and whose officials make and demonstrate contradictory remarks and behaviors," Iran has maintained a consistent stance from the outset, Baghaei said.
He emphasized, "We know very well what our desired framework is. As I mentioned earlier, the materials that have been conveyed to us under various titles such as the '15-point plan' mainly include very excessive, unrealistic, and unreasonable demands."
Baghaei also underlined that "up to this moment, we have had no direct negotiation with the United States." He explained that since the last U.S. talks in Geneva on Feb. 26, Iran has only received messages through intermediaries, including Pakistan, indicating Washington’s willingness and request for discussions.
He added that Iran has not taken part in meetings organized by Pakistan that included neighboring countries.
Iran will disclose its decision regarding the plan "through an appropriate way in due course," Baghaei said.
The tensions follow the Feb. 28 joint strikes by Israel and the United States on Tehran and several Iranian cities, which killed Iran's then Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, senior military leaders, and civilians. Iran retaliated with multiple missile and drone attacks targeting Israeli and U.S. sites across the Middle East.
