Iran describes its proposal to end war with US as legitimate, generous

Iran’s proposal to end war with the US and reopen the Strait of Hormuz is legitimate and generous, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei has said, adding that the US continues to uphold unreasonable and one-sided demands, according to Reuters.

“Our demand is legitimate: demanding an end to the war, lifting the (US) blockade and piracy, and releasing Iranian assets that have been unjustly frozen in banks due to US pressure,” Baqaei has said.

“Safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz and establishing security in the region and Lebanon were other demands of Iran, which are considered a generous and responsible offer for regional security.”
