Iran’s Parliament Speaker Demands US Accept 14-Point Peace Plan or Face Continued Failure

On May 12, Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf warned the United States to agree to Tehran’s 14-point peace proposal or risk ongoing failure. He spoke after President Trump rejected Iran’s counteroffer as “totally unacceptable,” saying the fragile ceasefire since April 8 was on life support. Ghalibaf urged Washington to recognise the rights of the Iranian people and warned that dragging feet would only cost American taxpayers more. Meanwhile, military officials in Tehran have vowed to respond to any renewed US attack. Key sticking points include ending the war in the region, lifting the US naval blockade, and unfreezing Iranian assets held abroad. The dispute also centres on Iran’s 60% enriched uranium stockpile, which Tehran insists it may negotiate but retains for peaceful purposes. A spokesman for parliament’s national security commission even suggested that lawmakers would consider enriching uranium to weapons-grade levels if hostilities resumed. International observers remain focused on this potential escalation and on environmental concerns in the Gulf attributed to foreign naval activity.
