Iran Warns: “Hands Still on the Trigger”
Iran strongly warned that its forces remain fully alert. Officials said the country is ready to respond immediately if the United States or Israel takes any action.
Iran’s Supreme National Security Council said the ceasefire is only temporary and added:
“Our hands remain upon the trigger, and any mistake by the enemy will be met with full force.”
This shows that while fighting has paused, tensions remain very high.
Iran Claims Progress in War
Iran also claimed that it has achieved many of its key goals during the conflict.
In its statement, the council said the Iranian people should be proud, adding that the country has pushed its enemies into a position of weakness.
The war, which began on February 28, 2026, has lasted over a month and caused heavy losses across the region.
Iran’s 10-Point Proposal Explained
As part of the ceasefire process, Iran has shared a 10-point proposal with the United States. This plan will be the base for upcoming peace talks.
Key points include:
- Controlled and safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz
- Withdrawal of US forces from the region
- End of attacks on Iran and its allies
- Payment of damages to Iran
- Removal of sanctions
- Release of Iran’s frozen assets
- Final approval through a United Nations resolution
Iran said it will only agree to fully end the war if these terms are accepted.
Islamabad Talks to Decide Next Step
Iran confirmed that formal negotiations will begin in Islamabad on April 10, 2026.
These talks are expected to last two weeks, with a possibility of extension if both sides agree.
During this period, Iran has called for national unity and continued public support.
Trump’s Statement on Ceasefire
US President Donald Trump also confirmed the ceasefire, calling it a “double-sided” agreement.
He said the United States has already achieved its main military goals and is close to reaching a long-term peace deal with Iran.
Trump revealed that the US reviewed Iran’s 10-point proposal and sees it as a workable starting point for negotiations.
However, he added one key condition: Iran must allow the complete, immediate, and safe opening of the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial global oil route.
What Happens Next?
While the ceasefire has paused fighting, both sides have clearly stated that this is only a temporary break.
The upcoming talks in Islamabad will be critical. If successful, they could lead to a lasting peace. If not, the conflict could quickly restart.
For now, the situation remains fragile, with both Iran and the United States watching each other closely.
