'No alternative': Iran’s Speaker demands US accept 14-point peace proposal
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf warns of military surprises, insists the US must accept Iranian proposal to end the war.
Assessment
Iran is attempting to seize the diplomatic initiative by framing its own terms as the only path to de escalation. The demand for US acceptance of a 14 point proposal signals Tehran's desire to negotiate from a position of strength, while the threat of military surprises underscores the high stakes. The key question is whether Washington will engage with this framework or dismiss it as a stalling tactic.
