Iran's top negotiator: Accept our proposal or 'American taxpayers will pay for it'

- There is no alternative but to accept the rights of the Iranian people as laid out in the 14-point proposal.

Why this matters: political developments that affect policy direction and public trust.
There is no alternative but to accept the rights of the Iranian people as laid out in the 14-point proposal. Any other approach will be completely inconclusive; nothing but one failure after another, Ghalibaf wrote in a post on X.
The longer they drag their feet, the more American taxpayers will pay for it, he added.
The 14 point proposal includes an effort to end the war in 30 days, the withdrawal of American forces from Iran, removal of sanctions on Iranian assets, reparations payments, end to fighting in Lebanon and a new method to govern the Strait of Hormuz, according to NPR.
