After researching the U.S. response to its latest proposal to end the war and open the Strait of Hormuz, Iranian President Masoud Beizakian confirmed that Tehran is committed to implementing the "Islamabad" understandings, referring to the agreement signed last June.

Beizakian stated today, Wednesday, that Iran is committed to implementing this understanding but without concessions.

He also emphasized the necessity of dialogue with society regarding the importance of negotiations and defending them. He clarified that "talking about the advantages and gains of negotiations does not mean bowing to enemies."

These statements came after Iranian authorities announced that they had received the official U.S. response to their proposal to end the war, following days after U.S. President Donald Trump rejected the plan. Government spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani told the official news agency "IRNA" that "Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi presented the U.S. proposal to President Masoud Beizakian during today's government meeting."

The United States and Iran began discussions on guarantees and a mechanism for implementing the 7-day plan to resolve the conflict during the indirect negotiations that Qatar resumed last week.

A senior source confirmed to Al Arabiya/Al Hadath earlier today that the indirect negotiations have moved to the stage of discussing the mechanism for implementing the plan and providing guarantees, noting that the mediators have conveyed Washington's response to Minister Araqchi.

The source also clarified that the seven-day plan proposed by Iran requires "substantial amendments" before discussing any progress, adding that the two main issues are arranging the implementation of the agreements and which party will move first.

Meanwhile, another source revealed that the main disagreements relate to the arrangement of steps within the plan aimed at returning to the expanded version of the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding signed last June, according to Reuters.
