Iran’s latest counterproposal to a US peace plan demands compensation from the US and emphasizes Tehran’s sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz, reports Anadolu.

As Iranian state broadcaster Press TV reports today, Iran is also demanding an end to sanctions and the release of Iranian assets frozen abroad. Tehran rejected the US plan because it would require submission to President Donald Trump’s “excessive demands”.

Iran’s response also emphasizes the “fundamental rights of the Iranian nation”. Trump said Sunday on his Truth Social platform that he had reviewed Iran’s latest response and described it as “totally unacceptable.”

Regional tensions have escalated since the U.S. and Israel launched attacks on Iran on February 28, prompting retaliatory strikes by Tehran and disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz.

A ceasefire came into effect on April 8. Pakistani mediation, but talks in Islamabad failed to secure a lasting agreement. The ceasefire was later extended by Trump indefinitely.

Since April 13, the US has implemented a naval blockade targeting Iranian maritime traffic in the strategic waterway.
