00:20Did the United States just blink first?
00:23Iran now claims that Washington actually requested a ceasefire after facing pressure on the battlefield.
00:32This explosive claim comes from Mohammad Bagher-Ghaliboff, who says U.S. President Donald Trump reached out because Iran was
00:40gaining the upper hand.
00:43According to Iran, the war narrative may be very different from what the world has been hearing.
00:49Let's break this down.
00:50In an official statement, Iran's Supreme National Security Council says just 10 days into the war, the United States began
00:59sending messages asking for a ceasefire and negotiations.
01:04Iran claims this was a war that the U.S. itself had started, and now it was looking for a
01:11way out.
01:11Fast forward to day 40. Tehran says Washington accepted Iran's own 10-point plan as the framework for talks.
01:19Negotiations then began in Islamabad, with Pakistan acting as mediator. Talks lasted 21 hours nonstop.
01:26Iran says its delegation pushed demands with seriousness and maintained maximum distrust toward the United States.
01:33But then, things stalled. Iran accuses the U.S. of introducing new and excessive demands during the negotiations.
01:40And in response, Tehran said it refused to compromise at all.
01:45Result?
01:46No agreement. Talks postponed.
01:50Now mediation efforts continue, with fresh proposals reportedly under review in Tehran.
01:56But Iran is sending a clear message. No retreat. No compromise. No tolerance for pressure.
02:05The statement goes even further.
02:08Iran says one key condition for any ceasefire was a halt in fighting across all fronts, including Lebanon.
02:17It accuses Israel of violating this from the very beginning.
02:20And then comes a major strategic point.
02:25Iran claims it can control access to the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most critical oil routes.
02:32Under its proposal, only commercial ships would be allowed, while U.S. and Israeli vessels would face restrictions.
02:40Tehran also warns it will monitor all traffic, issue permits, and even charge passage fees during wartime conditions.
02:48This is not just military pressure. This is economic leverage.
02:54And despite heavy strakes, Iran says it is far from weakened.
02:59Reports indicate it still retains around 40% of its attack drowns, 60% of missile launchers, and up to
03:0770% of its missile stockpile.
03:09So what does all this mean?
03:12Iran is projecting strength, claiming battlefield advantage, and positioning itself as negotiating from power.
03:20While the U.S. is being portrayed as the side that asked for a pause.
03:25But in a war of narratives, the truth is often the first casualty.
03:30And this story is still unfolding.
