Iran has declared 'victory' over the US and Israel after President Trump agreed to a two-week ceasefire, with Tehran calling the outcome a major victory. The Supreme National Security Council of Iran stated that the US has accepted, in principle, to Iran's 10-point plan, which includes allowing 'regulated passage through the Strait of Hormuz under the coordination of the Armed Forces of Iran.'
The plan aims to give Iran a 'unique economic and geopolitical standing,' according to the council. Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Aragachi highlighted that safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz 'will be possible via coordination with Iran's Armed Forces and with due consideration of technical limitations.'
As part of the agreement, Iran says the US has agreed to lift all primary and secondary sanctions, recognize Iran's nuclear enrichment, and acknowledge its continued control over the Strait of Hormuz.
The Supreme National Security Council described the outcome as a 'crushing defeat' for the US in what it called an 'unfair, unlawful, and criminal war against the Iranian nation.'
The council released a detailed statement on the conditions of the ceasefire and upcoming negotiations, which will begin in Islamabad with complete distrust of the American side.
The US and Iran have agreed to a two-week ceasefire, which will pause attacks while Iran keeps the Strait of Hormuz open, allowing negotiators time to work toward a broader, long-term deal to possibly end the conflict.
