    April 6 - According to the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA), Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ismail Baghaei stated that in the context of recent proposals to end the war, Tehran has finalized its demands but will only announce them at the appropriate time, emphasizing that Iran will not succumb to pressure. He said, 'A few days ago, they proposed some plans through intermediaries, and this U.S. plan, which contains 15 points, was conveyed through Pakistan and other friendly countries.' He added, 'Such proposals are highly ambitious, unusual, and illogical.' He stressed that Iran has its own framework. 'Based on our own interests and considerations, we have organized and formulated a series of demands that we have presented in the past and present.' He also denied that engaging with mediators indicates weakness. 'The fact that Iran quickly and courageously expressed its position on a proposal should not be seen as a sign of submission to the enemy.' (Jinshi)
