Iran has formally reviewed a U.S.‑initiated 15‑point peace plan aimed at ending the ongoing Middle East conflict and determined the terms to be excessive, state‑run media reported on Wednesday.
According to Press TV, Tehran concluded that the proposal’s demands are disproportionate and not acceptable as a basis for a ceasefire.
Citing senior officials, Iranian outlets said the government will press on with its military operations and that any halt to hostilities must occur on its own conditions and timetable, rejecting external imposition of terms.
The response follows U.S. efforts to transmit the 15‑point proposal via intermediaries in Pakistan, seen by Washington as a potential framework for de‑escalation after nearly a month of conflict. Tehran has denied that formal negotiations have begun and instead outlined its own set of conditions for ending the war, including demands that go beyond the U.S. plan.
Russia’s Kremlin also said it has received no official communication from Iran about the plan, leaving Moscow unable to verify details of the U.S. proposal.
The standoff highlights deep mistrust between the two sides and adds uncertainty to diplomatic efforts to resolve the fighting, with both military actions and negotiations continuing to unfold.
