Iran has signaled its willingness to engage in negotiations to end the ongoing conflict, provided that the United States moderates its demands. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei stated that the primary focus for Iran is to conclude the war. Despite a ceasefire established on April 8, diplomatic talks have largely stalled, with only one round of negotiations occurring since then. The situation remains tense, particularly in the strategically crucial Strait of Hormuz, which Iran controls tightly following US and Israeli military actions. Baqaei warned that the US should refrain from using threats against Iran, asserting that the Islamic Republic considers itself the protector of this vital waterway. He also mentioned a 14-point plan proposed by Iran to facilitate peace, which the US has acknowledged through intermediaries.
