Iran has formulated its response to ceasefire proposals, says foreign ministry spokesperson

Spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said that Tehran had a ​set of requirements ⁠based on its national interests that had already been conveyed via intermediary channels.

Dubai: Iran ​has formulated its positions and demands in response to recent ceasefire proposals conveyed ⁠via intermediaries, a foreign ministry ⁠spokesperson said on Monday, ‌adding that negotiations ​were "incompatible with ultimatums and threats to commit war crimes."

Spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said Tehran had a ​set of requirements ⁠based on its national interests that had already been conveyed via intermediary channels, adding ⁠that earlier US ‌demands such as the 15-point plan were rejected ‌for being "excessive".

"Iran does not hesitate ⁠to clearly express what it considers its legitimate ‌demands and doing so ‌should not be interpreted ‌as a sign of compromise, ‌but rather as a reflection of its confidence in defending its positions," ⁠Baghaei said ⁠in a press conference.

"We have formulated our own responses" and will announce details in due time, he added in response to an Iranian journalist's ​question regarding ongoing efforts to ​bring about ​a ceasefire between Iran and the US.
