Iran’s Supreme National Security Council released on April 8 the government’s 10-point peace plan, as reported by Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency. The plan’s 10 points are:
1. The U.S. should commit, in principle, to guarantee non-aggression;
2. Iran’s continued control of the Strait of Hormuz;
3. Iran’s uranium enrichment right should be accepted;
4. Lifting of all primary sanctions;
5. Lifting of all secondary sanctions;
6. Termination of all United Nations Security Council resolutions against Iran;
7. Termination of all International Atomic Energy Agency Board of Governors resolutions against Iran;
8. Payment of compensation for damages inflicted on Iran;
9. Withdrawal of U.S. combat forces from the region;
10. Cessation of the war on all fronts, including against the heroic Islamic resistance in Lebanon.
The call for a permanent commitment to ensure the end of U.S. acts of aggression, acceptance of Iran’s nuclear enrichment rights, and the lifting of all primary and secondary sanctions imposed on Iran, as stated in the 10 points, have been objectives of Iran dating back to at least the 12-day U.S.-Israel war against Iran in June 2025. The call for continued Iranian control of the Strait of Hormuz, payment of damages to Iran for losses in the current war, and withdrawal of U.S. combat forces from the region are newer and very substantive.
Iran’s objective is not seeking a temporary ceasefire; instead, it seeks to establish the preconditions to ensure a long-term peace.
