Iran has formulated its positions and demands ​in response to recent ‌ceasefire proposals conveyed ⁠via intermediaries, a CGTN correspondent reported from a press conference held by Iran's Foreign Ministry on Monday. The ministry spokesperson said negotiations were "incompatible ‌with ultimatums and threats to ‌commit war crimes."

Highlights from the press conference:

- Tehran had a set of requirements based on its national interests that ⁠have ‌already been conveyed through intermediary channels. Earlier US demands, including 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."

- Iran has formulated ‌its own responses ⁠and will announce details in due time.
