Iran’s chief negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, says Tehran will not approve any agreement with the United States unless it fully secures Iranian rights. Speaking in a video broadcast on state television, Ghalibaf links Iran’s approval to guarantees that Iranian rights are upheld, and warns against trusting the United States. The comments come as multiple outlets report that the U.S. has sent back a revised peace or negotiation proposal to Iran with tougher terms. According to reports cited by several outlets, President Donald Trump’s returned framework includes stricter demands, including stopping Iran from developing nuclear weapons, though the full details of the proposal are not specified in the coverage. The talks are described as part of an effort to formally end the Middle East conflict and reopen the Strait of Hormuz after weeks of tense negotiations marked by sharp rhetoric and intermittent violence. Any modifications to the U.S. proposal are reported to risk further delays in reaching an agreement, including the conditions for reopening shipping through the strategic waterway.
