According to local Iranian media, Iran reportedly rejected the US proposal in its reply to the US end-of-war proposal and presented its own alternative. More specifically, Iran refused to accept the US proposal in its reply, stating that accepting it would be surrendering to Trump's greed. Furthermore, Iran reportedly emphasized the fundamental rights of the Iranian people in its reply, demanding: payment of war reparations by the US; recognition of Iran's sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz; complete lifting of sanctions against Iran; and unfreezing of Iranian funds and assets.
