Iran has formulated its positions and ​demands in response to ‌recent ceasefire proposals conveyed via intermediaries, ​a foreign ⁠ministry spokesperson said on Monday, adding that negotiations were “incompatible with ultimatums and ‌threats to commit war crimes.”

Spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei ‌said Tehran had ‌a ⁠set of requirements based ⁠on its national interests that had already been conveyed via intermediary ​channels, adding ‌that earlier US demands such as the 15-point plan were rejected for being “excessive.”

“Iran does ‌not hesitate to ​clearly express what it considers its legitimate demands ⁠and doing so should not be interpreted as a sign ‌of compromise, but rather as a reflection of its confidence in defending its positions,” Baghaei said in a press conference.

“We ‌have formulated our own responses” ​and will announce details in due time, he added ⁠in response to an ⁠Iranian journalist’s question regarding ongoing efforts to bring ‌about a ceasefire between Iran and the US.
