Iran has formally responded to the "15-point plan," asserting that the US's negotiating statements were a "third deception."

PANews reported on March 26 that, according to Iran's Tasnim News Agency, sources indicated that Iran formally submitted its response to the "15-point proposal" to the United States last night through intermediaries and is currently awaiting a reply. Iran's response included the following core demands: ① A cessation of the enemy's terrorist aggression; ② Establishment of objective conditions to ensure that the war will not be repeated; ③ Clarification and guarantee of compensation and restitution for war losses; ④ A ceasefire that must be implemented simultaneously on all fronts and in all resistance organizations involved in the fighting throughout the region. The source also emphasized that Iran's exercise of sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz is its natural and legitimate right, and a guarantee for ensuring the fulfillment of commitments, which must be recognized. The source pointed out that Iran has determined that the US's negotiating statement is a "third deception" project, with three true objectives: ① To deceive the international community by fabricating a peaceful posture; ② To depress global oil prices; ③ To buy time for a ground invasion from southern Iran.
