WANA (Apr 08) – The Full Text of the Supreme National Security Council Statement on the ceasefire is as follows:
“The enemy, in its cowardly, illegal, and criminal war against the Iranian nation, has suffered an undeniable, historical, and crushing defeat. By the grace of the pure and holy blood of the Martyred Leader of the Islamic Revolution, His Eminence Grand Ayatollah Imam Khamenei (Peace be upon him), the prudent measures of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution and Commander-in-Chief, His Eminence Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei (May God protect him), and the struggle and bravery of the warriors of Islam on the fronts—especially the historical, lasting, and heroic presence of you, the dear nation, on the scene since the very first days of the war—Iran has achieved a massive victory and forced criminal America to accept its 10-point plan.
In this plan, America is fundamentally committed to guaranteeing non-aggression, the continuation of Iran’s control over the Strait of Hormuz, the acceptance of enrichment, the lifting of all primary and secondary sanctions, the termination of all resolutions of the Security Council and the Board of Governors, the payment of Iran’s damages, the withdrawal of U.S. combat forces from the region, and the cessation of war on all fronts, including against the heroic Islamic Resistance of Lebanon.
We congratulate all the people of Iran on this victory and emphasize that until the details of this victory are finalized, there remains a need for the steadfastness and prudence of officials and the maintenance of unity and solidarity among the Iranian people.
Islamic Iran, along with the brave mujahideen of the Resistance in Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen, and occupied Palestine, has dealt blows to the enemy over the past 40 days that the global historical memory will never forget. Iran and the Axis of Resistance, as representatives of honor and humanity against the most savage enemies of mankind, have given them an unforgettable lesson after a historical battle.
They have so crushed their forces, facilities, infrastructure, and all their political, economic, technological, and military assets that the enemy is now plunged into collapse and desperation, seeing no path before it other than surrender to the will of the great nation of Iran and the honorable Axis of Resistance.
On the first day, when the criminal enemies of Iran began this oppressive war, they imagined they would succeed in complete military dominance over Iran in a short time and force Iran to surrender by creating political and social instability. They thought Iran’s missile and drone fire would be quickly extinguished and did not believe that Iran could deliver such a powerful response beyond its borders and across the entire region.
Global evil Zionism had convinced the ignorant President of America that this war would finish Iran, allowing them—after removing this last bastion of humanity and mankind—to comfortably commit any crime against anyone they wished from then on. They dreamed of partitioning dear Iran, plundering its oil and wealth, and ultimately leaving Iranians immersed in chaos, instability, and insecurity for many long years.
The brave warriors of Islam and their courageous allies in the Axis of Resistance, despite their hearts being wounded and torn by the martyrdom of their Imam, decided—relying on Almighty God and following the Lord and Master of Martyrs—to give these enemies a historical lesson once and for all. They chose to take revenge for all previous crimes and create conditions where the enemy would forever cast away the thought of aggression against dear Iran, fully tasting the flavor of humiliation and abasement before the great nation of Iran.
With this strategy and relying on the unprecedented political and social unity established within the country, Iran and the Resistance initiated one of the heaviest hybrid battles in history against America and the Zionist regime, achieving all the objectives designed for this conflict during this period.
Iran and the Resistance almost completely destroyed the American military machine in the region; they dealt crushing and profound blows to the vast infrastructure and facilities that the enemy had built and stationed around the region over the years for this war against Iran. In regional dimensions, they imposed extensive casualties on the criminal American army, and within the occupied territories, they delivered heavy and shattering blows to the enemy’s forces, infrastructure, facilities, and assets.
They so constrained the field on all fronts that not only were none of the enemy’s main objectives realized, but the enemy realized approximately 10 days after the start of the war that it would in no way have the capability to win this war. For this reason, it began attempting to establish contact with Iran and requesting a ceasefire through various channels and methods.
The honorable nation of Iran must know that, by the grace of their children’s struggle and their historic presence on the scene, the enemy has been pleading for over a month for the cessation of the fierce fire of Iran and the Resistance. However, the country’s officials—because it had been decided from the very beginning that the war would continue until objectives were achieved, including the enemy’s regret and desperation and the removal of long-term threats from the country—gave a negative response to all these requests, and the war continued until today, which is the fortieth day.
Furthermore, Iran has so far rejected several deadlines presented by the President of the United States and continues to emphasize that it grants no importance to any type of deadline from the enemy.
We now give tidings to the great nation of Iran that almost all war objectives have been realized and your brave children have driven the enemy to a historic helplessness and a lasting defeat. Iran’s historic decision, backed by the unified support of the entire nation, is to continue this battle for as long as necessary until its massive achievements are consolidated and new security and political equations are created in the region based on the acceptance of the power and sovereignty of Iran and the Resistance.
In this regard, and according to the prudence of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, His Eminence Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei (May God protect him), and the approval of the Supreme National Security Council—and considering Iran and the Resistance’s upper hand in the battlefield, the enemy’s inability to carry out its threats despite all claims, and the formal acceptance of all the rightful demands of the Iranian people—it was decided that negotiations be held in Islamabad to finalize the details. This is so that within a maximum of 15 days, with the finalization of details, Iran’s victory on the field shall also be consolidated in political negotiations.
To this end, while rejecting all plans presented by the enemy, Iran drafted a 10-point plan and presented it to the American side via the country of Pakistan. It emphasized fundamental points such as controlled passage through the Strait of Hormuz in coordination with Iran’s armed forces (which grants Iran a unique economic and geopolitical position), the necessity of ending the war against all components of the Axis of Resistance (which signifies a historic defeat for the aggression of the child-killing Israeli regime), the withdrawal of U.S. combat forces from all bases and deployment points in the region, the establishment of a secure transit protocol in the Strait of Hormuz such that it guarantees Iranian dominance according to the agreed protocol, the full payment of Iran’s damages according to estimates, the removal of all primary and secondary sanctions and resolutions of the Board of Governors and the Security Council, the release of all blocked Iranian properties and assets abroad, and finally, the approval of all these items in a binding Security Council resolution. It is worth noting that the approval of this resolution will turn all these agreements into binding international law and will create an important diplomatic victory for the nation of Iran.
Now, the honorable Prime Minister of Pakistan has informed Iran that the American side, despite all outward threats, has accepted these principles as the basis for negotiations and has surrendered to the will of the Iranian nation. Accordingly, at the highest level, it has been decided that Iran will engage in negotiations in Islamabad with the American side for a period of two weeks, based solely on these principles. It is emphasized that this does not mean the end of the war; Iran will only accept the termination of the war once the details—given the acceptance of Iran’s preferred principles in the 10-point plan—are finalized in the negotiations.
These negotiations will begin in Islamabad on Friday, April 10 (21 Farvardin), with complete distrust of the American side, and Iran will allocate two weeks for these talks. This timeframe is extendable by mutual agreement. It is essential that during this period, complete national unity be maintained and victory celebrations continue with strength.
The current negotiations are national negotiations and a continuation of the battlefield; it is necessary for all people, elites, and political groups to trust and support this process, which is under the supervision of the Leader of the Revolution and the highest levels of the system, and to strictly avoid any divisive comments.
If the enemy’s surrender on the battlefield is transformed into a decisive political achievement in the negotiations, we will celebrate this massive historical victory together; otherwise, we will fight side-by-side on the battlefield until all the demands of the Iranian nation are met. Our hands are on the trigger, and the moment the slightest error is committed by the enemy, it will be responded to with full power.”
I have often wondered that...
In the Iranian system, the Grand Ayatollah is the Supreme Leader. He is appointed by an assembly of Mullahs. Once chosen, he has, effectively, unchecked power. I think he appoints IRGC generals, and they report to him.
The presidential candidates are vetted by the Supreme Leader, then elected by the people. The president appoints a cabinet, including foreign minister. But the nominal executive branch are, collectively, the Supreme Leader’s errand boys.
The Supreme Leader Khamenei was taken out on the first day of the war, and his son, whom nobody has seen, and was by all credible accounts, rendered comatose in the bombing, was chosen by the assembly, under pressure from IRGC.
So IRGC generals run the show. The president, and the foreign minister are the face presented to the world.
I know that within Iran, Javad Zarif, Iran’s Obama-era nuclear negotiator, recommended a cease fire. Then, a rally was held by IRGC, and the keynote speaker gave Zarif a 3-day ultimatum to backtrack his recommendation, or face street justice.
Such is the politics of Iran.
And here, I went and bought some jiffy pops and orville’s butter, just for the occasion, darn it!!!
It may not last 2 days. The news I saw said that Tel Aviv came under attack tonight!
What I find odd is the fact that Iran has or had about 1000 lbs of 60% enriched Uranium and has for some time prior to this war. 60% to weapons grade is just a few weeks before we destroyed their processing centers.
In WWII we enriched uranium as fast as we could to weapons grade and in effect it became an assembly line of one weapon at a time and the same for the plutonium bomb. When we hit Hiroshima and Nagasaki we only had two ready but the pipeline was full of new ones ready in weeks, one at a time.
It is illogical for Iran not to have followed this same logic. My logic train on this makes me think they do have weapons grade and do have the bomb. If they do they will try to hit Israel I would think. However, on a missile aimed at Israel there is a good chance it would be shot down. Perhaps a softer non military target not
surrounded with missile interceptors. Even worse a shipping container on a commercial vessel into a East Coast or West Coast, or Gulf shipping port. I would pick Houston as to destroy much population and much oil and gas processing.
Iran would immediately be turned in to atomic hell by the USA and Israel but it makes no difference. The Shia Muslims believe in the 12th Imam hiding in a well in Iran. The Shia believe this would bring him out of the well and he would lead the Shia Muslims to world wide dominance.
What Trump is doing today should have been done during Jimmy Carters administration 47 years ago.
I lived in Iran as a kid during the time of the Shah. They are not bad people. The problem is the fanatical Imams at the top and a small percentage of fanatics that support them. If you have the guns and the people do not, a few percent can control a nation.
Nuke them first thing in the morning. Enough is enough.
I’m sure DJT is aware of the gamesmanship. Off with their heads.
I thought Bagdad Bob was dead?
Stock futures up over 1,000 points now. The financial markets love it!
They’ve broken treaties before. We are dealing with delusional people. Not a question if points of view or philosophical belief system...but straight on psychotic delusional thinking. They must never be allowed to wield any kind of power anywhere. In their religion they can be called fervent but it’s more like obsessive delusional disorder. Like a person who is stalking a celebrity thinking the celebrity is in love with them.
The Persians and Kurds have to take over for their own long term survival. The mullahs will break the truce and then comes the end of the crazies rule in Iran. Delusional thinking doesnt work anywhere. Secular or Religion.
An interesting footnote: Iran’s 10-point plan, in Farsi, includes:
- unfettered right to uranium enrichment,
- payment of reparations to Iran,
- full exit of US forces from the Middle east.
Those points do not appear in the English version. Instead, termination of hostilities are repeated (recycled) three times, using slightly different wording.
Both versions add up to 10 points. But the Farsi version and the English version don’t line up.
It doesn’t matter what they proclaim between themselves. It matters what Trump accepts in the end. The claim that Trump has accepted their demands is false.
Very simplistic analysis.
Freegards.
They’ll eat it up like a dog eats it’s own vomit... with gusto
This almost doesnt sound factual, (kinda like ai written) but if it is, it sounds like that knight in monty python skit whdre he lost his legs and arms and was still threatening to bite the ankles of his opponent lol
Yes but some want 2 believe it anyway
Hey there are no tanks in Baghdad also lol
“10 points. But the Farsi version and the English version don’t line up.”
Not even throwaways for the negotiation - purely for domestic political consumption...
Maybe the Iranian negotiators publish that (in Farsi) to avoid/delay conflict with their internal hardliners.
Iranian domestic politics are still in turmoil, with more still likely to come.
