Iranian officials have rejected the U.S. 15-point plan to end the war, describing the demands as exaggerated and unreasonable. This contradicts earlier statements by Donald Trump claiming Iran had accepted most of the demands.
On 30 Mar 2026 GMT+7, Ismail Baghai, spokesperson for Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said the U.S. 15-point proposal to end the conflict contains "excessive demands that are unrealistic and highly unreasonable," which conflicts with prior claims by U.S. President Donald Trump that Iran had accepted "most" of the items on the list.
Baghai added that currently "there are no direct negotiations" between Iran and the U.S., and messages from the Washington government are conveyed only through intermediaries.
Additionally, the spokesperson stated that Iran did not attend the most recent meeting organized by Pakistan with Middle Eastern countries, noting that the meeting fell within a framework Iran had not agreed to.
"The meeting organized by Pakistan with neighboring countries was held under a framework they designed themselves, and we did not participate in that framework," he said.
Meanwhile, Pakistani authorities announced last weekend their readiness to host and facilitate talks between the U.S. and Iran "in the coming days," following a quadrilateral meeting with regional foreign ministers in Islamabad.
