Iran rejects US response to war-ending proposal

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 12 Oct, 00:24 · Archive

Iran's security chief says the US response to a proposal to end the war is insufficient.

Mohsen Rezaei, head of Iran's Supreme National Security Council and a former Revolutionary Guard commander, told Iran's state news agency IRNA that Tehran finds the latest US response to its proposal 'insufficient'. He said the US has accepted some of seven Iranian conditions but others remain unclear, and that Iran is no longer responding to Washington calls for further negotiations.

Rezaei threatened 'cables, data centres, AI facilities and other sites in the region' if intense fighting breaks out again. The Revolutionary Guard's navy also warned that any ship on the Strait of Hormuz that turns off navigation and identification systems would be 'identified as hostile'.

Iran presented a sped-up agreement proposal at the UN gathering in September that echoed a memorandum of understanding signed by the US and Iran in June, which collapsed days later. Although the new proposal was rejected, the two sides have remained in contact. Attacks on ships transiting the strait have increased since Iran's proposal was rejected, with one attack reported on Sunday.
