The Iranian Foreign Minister told Qatar’s Al Jazeera that no response has been given to former President Trump’s 15-point proposal.
He said the messages Iran has received include “warnings or reciprocal viewpoints” sent through various regional channels. He also noted that Iran continues to receive messages from Steve Witkoff, the U.S. special envoy, but emphasized that this does not constitute “negotiation.” He stressed that “no formal negotiations with any specific party are ongoing” and that message exchanges occur within an official framework under the supervision of the Iranian government and the Supreme National Security Council.
Iran has not responded to the U.S. 15-point plan, nor has it presented any proposals or conditions in return.
Earlier, on March 23, 2026, the New York Times reported that the United States had presented Iran with a 15-point plan to end the conflict. According to the plan:
U.S. demands included the closure of Natanz, Ferdow, and the Isfahan uranium processing facility.
Iran would have to stop supporting militias and allow a “freedom of navigation zone in the Strait of Hormuz.”
In return, all sanctions on Iran would be lifted.
A one-month ceasefire between Iran, the U.S., and Israel was also proposed.
Iranian media later reported that Tehran responded with five conditions, including:
Withdrawal of U.S. forces from the region
Payment of reparations to Iran
Control of the Strait of Hormuz by Iran
In the interview with Al Jazeera, the Iranian Foreign Minister said Tehran has not yet made a decision about the principle of negotiations, and Iran’s conditions for ending the war are clear. He added that Iran “will not accept a ceasefire” and seeks a “complete end to the war across the region.”
He also emphasized that Iran is “prepared for any ground confrontation” and hopes adversaries do not make miscalculations. At the same time, he claimed that the Strait of Hormuz is fully open, and only closed to those participating in the war against Iran. According to him, the strait can serve as a “passage for peace,” with decisions regarding it left to the coastal countries.
