Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - Iran\u2019s chief negotiator has issued the\nlatest ultimatum to the United States (US). Tehran is demanding that\nWashington immediately accept the terms in the 14-point proposal for\npeace in the Middle East war or face \u201cfailure\u201d.<\/p>\n
This challenging message comes after US President Donald Trump\nrejected Iran\u2019s latest counter-offer and stated that the fragile\nceasefire in place since 8 April is in a \u201ccritical condition\u201d. Moreover,\nthe latest Reuters report indicates that Trump is beginning to review\nthe continuation of military operations in the Strait of Hormuz, Project\nFreedom, and airstrikes on Iran.<\/p>\n
Citing AFP on Tuesday (12\/6\/2026), Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said the\nUS must accept Iran\u2019s \u201crights\u201d if it wants to end the conflict that has\nlasted more than two months. To date, peace talks remain deadlocked\nafter the initial round failed to produce a breakthrough last month.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is no alternative other than accepting the rights of the\nIranian people as outlined in the 14-point proposal. Any other approach\nwill completely fail to yield results; only failure after failure,\u201d\nGhalibaf said in a post on X.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe longer they delay, the more American taxpayers\u2019 money will bear\nthe cost.\u201d<\/p>\n
Details of the latest US proposal remain limited, although media\nreports say it involves a one-page memorandum of understanding aimed at\nending the fighting and establishing a framework for negotiations on\nIran\u2019s nuclear programme. Iran\u2019s Foreign Ministry stated that its\nresponse calls for an end to the war on all fronts, including Lebanon,\nthe cessation of the US naval blockade on Iranian ports, and the\nsecuring of the release of Iran\u2019s frozen assets abroad based on\nlong-standing sanctions.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, a spokesperson for Iran\u2019s parliamentary national\nsecurity commission told members of parliament that the government will\nconsider the possibility of enriching uranium to levels usable for\nnuclear weapons if the conflict resumes. Currently, Tehran has a\nstockpile of uranium enriched to 60%, while achieving nuclear weapons\nrequires enrichment to 90%.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of Iran\u2019s options if another attack occurs is enrichment to 90%.\nWe will review it in parliament,\u201d Ebrahim Rezaei wrote in a post on\nX.<\/p>\n
Iran\u2019s stockpile of highly enriched uranium remains a key point in\nnegotiations with the United States, which insists that the material\nmust be moved abroad. Iran has so far refused to transfer its enriched\nuranium stockpile abroad and insists on its right to use nuclear energy\npeacefully, although it says the enrichment level remains\n\u201cnegotiable\u201d.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/us-iran-war-alert-could-escalate-into-nuclear-war-1778586791", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
