Russia’s Medvedev sees Iran’s success in Trump’s approval to discuss its 10-point plan
Dmitry Medvedev noted that it was not clear if Washington would accept the plan
MOSCOW, April 8. /TASS/. Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev hailed US President Donald Trump agreeing to discuss a 10-point proposal put forward by Iran as the Islamic Republic’s success.
"The very fact that Trump has agreed to discuss a 10-point plan marks the Iranians’ success. It is not clear if Washington will accept the plan as it includes compensation for Iran, continued nuclear program, and Tehran’s control in the Strait of Hormuz," the politician wrote on his Telegram channel.
On Tuesday, Trump announced a mutual decision with Iran to halt hostilities for a two-week period. The move comes in the wake of a proposal from Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and is "subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the complete, immediate, and safe opening of the Strait of Hormuz," the US leader specified. Iran’s state-run television reported that Tehran put forward a 10-point proposal that the United States "was forced to accept." Among other things, Tehran’s proposal includes ending attacks, establishing Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz, uranium enrichment on Iranian soil, lifting all primary and secondary sanctions, full payment of Iran’s damages, and withdrawing US combat forces from the region. Sharif also invited Iranian and US delegations for further talks in Islamabad on April 10 aimed at reaching "a final agreement to resolve all disputes." US Vice President JD Vance, Special Presidential Envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner will take part in the negotiations, CNN reported.
