In a recent public statement, Iran’s Supreme National Security Council expressed approval of actions taken by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Our adversary has faced an undeniable, historic, and overwhelming defeat in its cowardly, unlawful, and criminal aggression against the Iranian people,” the council’s statement declared.
“Iran has claimed a significant triumph, compelling the criminal United States to agree to its 10-point plan,” the statement continued.
“We extend our congratulations to the entire Iranian nation on this achievement and stress that until the particulars of this victory are fully established, it is crucial for authorities to exercise persistence and caution while maintaining the unity and solidarity of the Iranian populace.”
While Trump did not delve into the specifics of the plan, he referred to it as a “workable basis on which to negotiate.”
Accepting the proposal would mark a dramatic victory for the regime and would leave the US and its allies much worse off than they were at the start of the war.
The plan would allow Iran to continue enriching uranium while forcing the US to withdraw all combat forces from the region.
It would force the lifting of all primary and secondary sanctions on Iran and require a US guarantee of non-aggression.
It would also require “compensation for damages inflicted on Iran”.
Iran said it would use the proceeds of their half of the toll to rebuild the country.
As a consequence of the toll, oil and other exports from the Persian Gulf would be able to be sold, but at a more expensive price. Six weeks ago, ships could pass through the strait without charge.
Iran has made no concessions in its 10-point plan.
“By accepting these conditions as the basis for negotiations, Trump has retreated from his desperate threats and bluffs,” a statement from the Supreme National Security Council has read.
Not mentioned in either countries’ announcements is the position of Israel on the ceasefire.
