Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said there is no alternative to Tehran's 14-point proposal to resolve the conflict with the United States and that all other approaches are doomed to failure.
“There is no alternative other than recognizing the rights of the Iranian people as stated in the 14-point proposal. Any other approach will be completely useless and will only lead to a series of failures,“ he noted. Ghalibaf stressed that the longer the United States “delays the process, the more American taxpayers will pay,” he wrote in X.
In early May, Iran presented the United States, through Pakistan, with a 14-point proposal that contained a “roadmap” to reaching an agreement. This document was presented in response to an earlier nine-point initiative by the US side. As reported by the Fars news agency, Iran’s counter-proposal does not include accepting a 15-year suspension of uranium enrichment or opening the Strait of Hormuz until a final settlement agreement is reached between the parties.
Iran may have transferred military and civilian aircraft to Pakistan and Afghanistan to protect them from possible US strikes, CBS News reported, citing sources.
According to the channel, Iranian military aircraft were stationed at the Pakistani Noor Khan air base, south of Islamabad. The channel's sources indicate that an Iranian RC-130 - a C-130 military transport aircraft converted for reconnaissance missions - was also stationed there.
According to the channel's sources, shortly before the outbreak of hostilities, the Iranian airline Mahan Air transferred several of its aircraft to Kabul, which remained there after the closure of Iranian airspace. However, due to fighting between Pakistan and Afghanistan, these aircraft were soon moved to Herat Airport in Afghanistan, on the border with Iran.
However, Taliban government spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid denied this information in a comment to CBS News.
