THIS is what really matters. Everything else is SPIN.

Iran's Supreme National Security Council:

– On the tenth day of the war, the Americans began sending messages and requests for a ceasefire and negotiations to end the war that they themselves had started.

– On the fortieth day of the war and with the official announcement of the U.S. President accepting Iran’s 10-point plan as the framework for negotiations to end the war, the Islamic Republic of Iran accepted these negotiations in Islamabad with the mediation of Pakistan.

– These negotiations lasted 21 hours without interruption, and the Iranian delegation raised and pursued the demands of the Iranian people with seriousness and initiative and maximum distrust in the United States.

– Despite agreeing to act within the framework of Iran’s 10-point plan, the enemy raised new and excessive demands during the negotiations, which were met with the Iranian delegation’s firm stance and the decision not to compromise on its positions in any way.

– For this reason, the first round of negotiations ended without a clear result, and its continuation was postponed until another time when the enemy stops being excessive and amends its demands in accordance with the realities on the ground.

– In recent days, with the presence of the Pakistani Field Marshal in Tehran as a mediator in the negotiations, new proposals have been raised by the Americans, which the Islamic Republic of Iran is considering and has not yet responded to.

– We announce that the Iranian negotiating team will not compromise, retreat, or tolerate anything, and will defend with all its might the interests and concerns of the Iranian nation.

– One of the preconditions for Iran’s acceptance of the temporary ceasefire was the cessation of fire on all fronts, including Lebanon, which the Zionist enemy violated from the very beginning.

– At the insistence of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Zionist regime agreed to a ceasefire in Lebanon and it was decided that if the enemy observes the ceasefire on all fronts, the Strait of Hormuz would be temporarily and conditionally opened until the end of the ceasefire period, only for the passage of commercial ships but not military vessels or civilian vessels of the U.S. and Israel, with the control and permission of the Iranian armed forces and through the route determined by Iran.

– Considering that the majority of the equipment of the U.S. military bases in the Persian Gulf region is provided through the Strait of Hormuz, and this is a threat to the national security of Iran and the Persian Gulf region, Iran is determined to exercise supervision and control over traffic through the Strait of Hormuz until the war is permanently ended and a lasting peace is achieved in the entire region.

– This will be implemented by receiving complete information from passing vessels, issuing a certificate of passage in accordance with the announced regulations of the Islamic Republic of Iran, in accordance with war conditions, and paying a passage fee, and on the routes announced by the Islamic Republic of Iran.

– As long as there is a naval blockade, the Islamic Republic of Iran will consider it a violation of the ceasefire and will prevent the conditional and limited opening of the Strait of Hormuz.
