The puppet media owned by the Iranian Republican Guard has reported that their government has submitted a response to the peace proposal offered by the Americans.
The Islamic Republic News Agency cited “a source familiar with the matter” that negotiations between the Trump administration and Tehran are solely focused on halting hostilities in the region.

The US administration had proposed 14 points for discussion in a one-page memorandum issued to Tehran last Thursday. The deal, if agreed in some manner, would establish a “framework for future talks” on the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program. That is according to sources who are crafting the messaging to NewsNation.

As of this writing, the White House has yet to comment.

The buzz this week had been that the Administration is seeking a moratorium on Iranian nuclear enrichment in exchange for the U.S. lifting sanctions and releasing billions in frozen Iranian funds. As part of the deal, the two sides would also reportedly lift restrictions on shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.

Ebrahim Rezaei is a spokesperson for the Iranian Parliament on national security. Last Wednesday he posted on X that the U.S. proposal was only a “wish list” in which the “Americans will not obtain through a failed war what they failed to gain in face-to-face negotiations. Iran has its finger on the trigger and is ready; if they do not surrender and grant the necessary concessions, or if they or their devilish hench-dog allies try to act mischievously, we will deliver a harsh and regret-inducing response.”

As part of a unified and acrimonious response today, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian projected similar defiance after the Islamic Republic reportedly submitted its response to the Americans through Pakistani mediators.

There is nothing definitive to analyze yet, but reportedly the Iranian response made no mention of enhanced uranium, the number one concern of the Americans. So far this is a continuation of the delays that have characterized negotiations with the Bazaari merchants of Tehran for the last half century.

They will attempt to outweigh the President with delay in the hopes they can undermine him in the political arena here over the next month. There could be a sudden lurch back into full intensity conflict. We think the IRGC leadership will try what has worked since 1979.
