Live updates: Trump threatens ‘a whole civilization will die tonight’ ahead of his Iran deadline - CNN

Iranian officials have released multiple statements in both Farsi and English following the breakthrough announcement of a two week ceasefire with the United States.

Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi released a statement on X that declared: “If attacks against Iran are halted, our Powerful Armed Forces will cease their defensive operations.”

Araghchi said that the country’s military will coordinate safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz during the ceasefire. He also said Iran was considering the 15-point proposal of the United States and said that Washington had accepted “the general framework” of Iran’s own 10-point proposal “as a basis for negotiations.”

Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, the country’s top security body, released a more fiery statement that confirmed the ceasefire but also portrayed the agreement as a victory.

The statement was obtained by CNN from Iranian officials and reported on by multiple Iranian state media outlets.

The security council statement said talks between the US and Iran would take place in Islamabad and laid out key parts of Tehran’s 10-point plan. It included regulating passage through the Strait of Hormuz; terminating attacks on Iran and its regional proxy forces, the withdrawal of US forces from the region, compensation to Iran, the lifting of international sanctions and unfreezing of assets as well as and a binding UN resolution to secure any ultimate peace deal.

Versions of the security council’s statement that were widely distributed by Iranian state media in both Farsi and in English also included that the US has agreed in principle to accept Iran’s right to nuclear enrichment.

For context: Iran’s Supreme National Security Council is the primary body tasked with overseeing Iran’s national security interests and protecting its Islamic revolution. It is stacked with senior figures from the country’s security, military, and clerical establishment.
