Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) published its 10-point peace plan submitted to the United States via Pakistani intermediaries, revealing sweeping demands.
The demands include the withdrawal of all U.S. combat forces from the region, full compensation for war damages, removal of all sanctions, release of frozen Iranian assets, and Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz.
The Farsi version of the plan included acceptance of Iran's uranium enrichment program, a phrase absent from English versions shared by Iranian diplomats.
The SNSC confirmed the ceasefire and framed it as a historic Iranian win.
"The enemy has suffered an undeniable, historic, and crushing defeat in its cowardly, illegal, and criminal war against the Iranian nation," the council said in a statement.
"Iran achieved a great victory," the council noted.
The council said, "nearly all war objectives have been achieved," while warning that its forces remain on standby. "Our hands remain on the trigger, and any mistake by the enemy will be met with full force," the statement read.
The council also cautioned that the start of negotiations on Friday does not signal the end of the war. "If the enemy's submission on the battlefield turns into a decisive political achievement in negotiations, we will celebrate this great historic victory together; otherwise, we will continue fighting side by side on the battlefield until all the demands of the Iranian nation are achieved," it said.
Iran's SNSC published the following demands, presented here as direct translated quotes from the council's statement:
In the Farsi version of the plan released by Iranian state media, Iran also included the phrase "acceptance of enrichment" for its nuclear program. That phrase was absent from English versions of the plan shared by Iranian diplomats with journalists.
The reason for the discrepancy remains unclear.
Trump has alleged Iran was near building an atomic bomb, an assertion not backed by the U.N. nuclear watchdog and most observers.
Trump has insisted Iran's enriched uranium would be "perfectly taken care of" under any peace deal, without providing specifics.
Trump described Iran's 10-point proposal as "a workable basis on which to negotiate" in a Truth Social post.
The U.S. has not confirmed any of the specific points or details beyond the two-week ceasefire, subject to the safe and immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
The plan was transmitted to Washington through Pakistani intermediaries.
Negotiations between Iran and the U.S. are set to begin Friday, April 10, in Islamabad.
