Xinhua News Agency, Tehran, March 30—According to Iranian media on March 30, Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs Spokesperson Baghaei said that so far Iran has not held any direct negotiations with the United States, and that the ceasefire plan proposed by the U.S. is “excessive and unreasonable.”

Baghaei said that Iran has received information regarding the U.S.’s willingness to hold talks through some intermediaries. He said that the so-called “15-point plan” for ceasefire attributed to the U.S., and its requirements, are “excessive and unreasonable.”

Baghaei said that, unlike the U.S. side, which keeps changing its stance and making contradictory statements, Iran has always maintained a clear position.

Speaking about a regional meeting held in Pakistan earlier, Baghaei said that the meeting falls within a framework set by the Pakistan side, and Iran did not participate. However, if regional countries care about regional peace and security, that is commendable. He also stressed that the international community should focus on the instigator of the war, rather than unilaterally asking one side to exercise restraint.

Baghaei reiterated that Iran is not the initiator of the war, but the side that has been attacked in the course of diplomatic negotiations. He said that once Iran reaches a conclusion on the relevant issues, it will promptly make it public. (End)
