Iran details 10 points of the ceasefire agreement accepted by the US

Iran released the ten points that make up the ceasefire agreement accepted by the United States, marking a diplomatic turning point after 40 days of conflict in the Middle East. Negotiations to detail the agreement will take place in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, mediator of the two-week truce announced on Tuesday night.

In a statement, Iran classified the agreement as a “historic victory” and “undeniable defeat” of the “enemy”, attributing the result to the “bravery of the combatants” and the “presence of the Iranian people”. The official narrative seeks to internally consolidate the perception that resistance forced concessions from Washington.

The ten points of the agreement

According to Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, the terms accepted by Washington are:

1. Total cessation of hostilities in Iraq, Lebanon and Yemen, covering all the forces of the “axis of resistance”.
2. Permanent and irrevocable termination of all attacks against Iran, with no time limit.
3. Complete end to all conflicts in the Middle East region.
4. Reopening of the Strait of Hormuza strategic route through which around 20% of the world’s oil flows.
5. Protocol establishment that guarantees freedom and security of navigation in the Strait, in coordination with Iranian forces.
6. Full compensation payment for rebuilding damaged infrastructure in Iran.
7. Full lifting of all sanctions economic, financial and commercial actions against Iran.
8. Release of Iranian funds and assets frozen not outside, especially us United States.
9. Iran’s formal commitment not to develop nuclear weapons.
10. Immediate implementation of the ceasefire on all fronts, after acceptance of the previous conditions.

Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz

One of the central points of the agreement is the implicit recognition of Iran’s role in managing the security of the Strait of Hormuz. The text establishes that the passage of ships will be carried out “in coordination with Iranian forces and taking into account technical limitations”, giving Tehran the capacity for operational supervision over the critical energy route.

Sanctions and compensation: the economic core

Points 6, 7 and 8 form the economic core of the agreement: lifting of sanctions, release of frozen assets and compensation for war damages. It is estimated that billions of dollars in Iranian resources are blocked in international financial institutions, mainly in the USA. The reconstruction of infrastructure damaged in the last 40 days of conflict represents an additional cost that Tehran seeks to transfer to its adversaries.

Nuclear issue: commitment without concessions

Point 9 reaffirms Iran’s commitment not to develop nuclear weapons — a position that Tehran has already publicly defended, distinguishing between a civil (permitted) and military (prohibited by the Non-Proliferation Treaty) nuclear program. Analysts assess that the formulation seeks to offer guarantees to the USA without requiring the abandonment of uranium enrichment for energy purposes.

Islamabad as a diplomatic box

Negotiations to operationalize the agreement will take place in Islamabad, under Pakistani mediation. The initial deadline is two weeks, extendable by mutual agreement. Iran’s Supreme National Security Council emphasized that the process will be conducted “under the supervision of revolutionary leaders” and called for “national unity” to avoid divisive statements.

For analysts, the agreement represents more of a tactical pause than a definitive solution. Implementing the ten points will require verification mechanisms, clear timelines and, above all, minimum trust between the parties — an element that is scarce after decades of hostility.

No official confirmation from Israel

Although CNN reported that Israel also agreed to the ceasefire, there was no official confirmation from Israeli or American officials. This asymmetry of communication reinforces the dubiousness of the agreement and the risk of operational misunderstandings in the coming weeks.
