US accepts 10-point proposal to end war – Iran

ISTANBUL: The United States (US) has "in principle" accepted a 10-point proposal aimed at ending the war, Iran said early Wednesday, Anadolu Agency (AA) reported, citing a report by the state-run Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) network. Iran's Supreme National Security Council said in a statement that the proposal would serve as a framework for negotiations aimed at finalizing a broader agreement, but did not detail the plan. IRIB, citing statements and related reports, said the proposals included guarantees of non-aggression against Iran, Iran's continued control of the Strait of Hormuz, recognition of Tehran's right to enrich uranium, the lifting of all primary and secondary US sanctions, the termination of United Nations (UN) Security Council and International Atomic Energy Agency Board resolutions against Iran, payment of compensation, the withdrawal of US military forces from Iran and an end to hostilities in all places including Lebanon. According to the council, the talks do not mean the war is over, stressing that any final agreement depends on ensuring Iran's conditions and finalizing the details. He added that safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz would be ensured during the negotiation period through coordination with the Iranian military. The talks are scheduled to begin on Friday in Islamabad under Pakistani mediation and will last up to two weeks, with the possibility of extension by mutual agreement. US President Donald Trump said earlier that Washington would postpone strikes on Iran for two weeks, describing Tehran's proposal as a "workable basis" for negotiations. -- BERNAMA-ANADOLU
