Iran rejected Washington's proposal for a ceasefire in the US-Israeli war against Iran, the Iranian state news agency IRNA reported on the evening of Monday, April 6, as reported by Tengrinews.kz, citing RBC.
According to the information, the corresponding document was handed over by Tehran to Pakistan, which is acting as a mediator in the negotiations.
As the agency notes, Iran's response contains ten provisions, including the need to end the war in the region, a protocol to ensure safe navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, as well as provisions for lifting sanctions and restoring the country.
"We will only agree to an end to the war with guarantees that we will not be attacked again," said the head of Iran's diplomatic mission in Egypt, Mojtaba Ferdousi Pour.
According to the New York Times, Iran is demanding a cessation of all attacks, a complete lifting of sanctions, an end to Israeli strikes, including strikes against Hezbollah, support for the restoration of infrastructure, the security of shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, and guarantees against future attacks.
In exchange, Iran is willing to resume shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, charging each passing vessel a fee of approximately $2 million.
According to a Reuters source, on April 6, the United States and Iran received a ceasefire plan prepared by Pakistan. The ceasefire was expected to take effect immediately upon agreement by both parties, which would allow the Strait of Hormuz to open.
Tehran has also reportedly begun preparations for a possible American landing on Kharg Island. According to CNN, Iran has created a multi-layered defense, including minefields and other means.
On April 6, US President Donald Trump stated that he was extremely dissatisfied with the Iranian government's actions and that it would "pay a heavy price for this." He also noted that the US demand to open the Strait of Hormuz expires on the night of April 7.
Tehran had previously stated that it was not interested in a temporary ceasefire, citing previous negotiations with the United States. According to IRNA, the ceasefire proposal followed the "failure" of the American troop landing on Iranian territory.
