Iran’s parliament speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, said in a statement on Wednesday that the US had violated “three clauses” of Iran’s 10-point ceasefire proposal.
“The deep historical distrust we hold toward the United States stems from its repeated violations of all forms of commitments — a pattern that has regrettably been repeated once again,” Ghalibaf said in a statement posted on X.
He noted that President Trump said in his initial statement on the ceasefire that Iran’s 10-point proposal was a good basis for negotiations, though the White House had attempted to walk that back.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt claimed that Iran’s initial proposal, published in Iranian media, was “thrown in the garbage” and that Tehran had submitted a revised ceasefire outline, though Iranian officials have given no indication they’ve backed down from their core demands.
Ghalibaf said the three clauses that the US violated include:
“1- Non-compliance with the first clause of the 10-Point Proposal regarding the ceasefire in Lebanon – a commitment that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has also explicitly referred to and declared as ‘an immediate ceasefire everywhere, including Lebanon and other regions, effective immediately.’
2- The entry of an intruding drone into Iran airspace, which was destroyed in the city of Lar in Fars Province, in clear violation of the clause prohibiting any further violation of Iran airspace.
3- Denial of Iran’s right to enrichment, which was included in the sixth clause of the framework.”
Ghalibaf added that the “very ‘workable basis on which to negotiate’ has been openly and clearly violated, even before the negotiations began. In such situation, a bilateral ceasefire or negotiations is unreasonable.”
The statement suggests that Iran may call off potential talks in Islamabad with US officials that may happen this weekend. Leavitt said at her press conference that Vice President JD Vance, US envoy Steve Witkoff, and Jared Kushner would be attending the potential talks in Pakistan starting this Saturday.
