Iran demands US withdrawal, sanctions relief in response to proposal - report

May 2, 2026, 22:44 GMT+1

Iran called for the withdrawal of US forces from its surrounding region, the lifting of a naval blockade and sanctions relief as part of a detailed response to a US proposal, according to a report by IRGC affiliated Tasnim news agency.

In a post on X on Saturday, Tasnim said Iran’s 14-point plan also includes demands for guarantees against military aggression, the release of Iranian assets and compensation payments.

The report said Tehran rejected a US proposal for a two-month ceasefire, instead insisting that key issues be resolved within 30 days and that the focus shift from extending a truce to “ending the war.”

It added that Iran’s proposal calls for an end to hostilities across multiple fronts, including Lebanon.

Iran stance unchanged in latest Hormuz proposal - think tank

May 2, 2026, 22:11 GMT+1

Iran has not altered its negotiating position on the Strait of Hormuz or its nuclear program in a recent proposal, according to the Institute for the Study of War, which said some officials in Tehran may be seeking to pressure Washington into concessions.

In an update on Saturday, the Washington-based think tank said elements within the Iranian system could believe Tehran can impose enough economic and political costs on the United States to shift its stance.

The report said Iran is taking steps to withstand a US naval blockade, including reportedly reducing oil production as storage capacity nears its limit, while avoiding a full shutdown that could damage oil fields.
