Iran's Supreme National Security Council Announces Victory, US Said to Accept 10-Point Conditions for Ending War

Iran’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) has officially issued a statement regarding the end of the armed conflict with the United States (US). In the statement, Tehran claims that Washington has accepted the 10-point requirements submitted by Iran to end the warfare.

The SNSC describes this achievement as a “historic victory” inseparable from the leadership of Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei and the sacrifices of the martyrs. Several crucial points in the agreement include US recognition of Iran’s control over the Strait of Hormuz, the right to uranium enrichment, and the lifting of all primary and secondary sanctions.

“The enemy has suffered a crushing defeat in the illegal war against the Iranian nation,” the official statement reads, as quoted by Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency on Wednesday (8/4). Additionally, it is mentioned that the US has committed to paying compensation and withdrawing combat troops from the region, including halting confrontations in Lebanon. Nevertheless, the SNSC urges the Iranian people to remain vigilant and maintain unity until all technical details of the agreement are finalised.

Here is the full text released by the SNSC:

The enemy has suffered an undeniable, historic, and crushing defeat in its cowardly, illegal, and criminal war against the Iranian nation. Thanks to the pure and innocent blood of the fallen Leader of the Islamic Revolution as a martyr, Ayatollah Imam Sayid Ali Khamenei (may peace be upon him), the steps of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution and Supreme Commander of the Iranian Armed Forces, Ayatollah Sayid Mojtaba Khamenei (may God protect him), the struggle and bravery of the Islamic fighters on various fronts, and especially your historic, eternal, and epic presence, beloved people, in the field of struggle from the first days of the war, Iran has achieved a great victory and forced criminal America to accept its 10-point plan, in which the United States in principle commits to guaranteeing non-aggression, continuing Iran’s control over the Strait of Hormuz, accepting (uranium) enrichment, lifting all primary and secondary sanctions, ending all UN Security Council resolutions and IAEA Board of Governors resolutions, paying compensation to Iran, withdrawing US combat troops from the region, and halting the war on all fronts, including against the heroic Islamic resistance in Lebanon.

We congratulate the entire Iranian people on this victory and emphasise that until the details of this victory are finalised, firmness and caution from officials as well as maintaining unity and solidarity among the Iranian people are still needed.

Iran and the US have agreed to a 15-day conflict pause and to begin negotiations in Islamabad, Pakistan. Tehran has submitted a 10-point proposal including matters related to the Strait of Hormuz.

UAE official Anwar Gargash emphasised the need for a broad regional security architecture and stability in the Strait of Hormuz beyond mere ceasefire with Iran.

Iran states that the US has accepted the principles of the 10-point peace proposal to end the conflict. Negotiations are scheduled to begin on Friday in Islamabad, Pakistan, for two weeks.

Russia vetoed a UN Security Council draft resolution related to the Strait of Hormuz submitted by Middle Eastern countries. Moscow and China are preparing a counter-draft that is more balanced.

US President Donald Trump has suspended attacks on Iran for two weeks. This ceasefire is conditional on the opening of the Strait of Hormuz and has triggered a drop in oil prices.

Israeli authorities reportedly arrested four active soldiers for allegedly being involved in espionage activities for Iran, including photographing sensitive locations.

The attack on peacekeeping forces in Lebanon that killed a TNI soldier is seen as a critical point for Indonesia to review its involvement.

He who starts the war may not necessarily be able to end it. If so, what should Trump do?

Iranian missile strikes hit a residential building in Haifa, killing two people. Meanwhile, Iran expands attacks to Kuwait and the UAE amid US threats.

Israeli strikes again hit Lebanon and killed at least 15 people on Sunday (5/4) local time.
