Iran's formal demands and private flexibility in deal talks — Channel 12 report
·Tehran, Iran
Iran formally demands Hormuz under Iranian control, US base closures, and financial compensation. Privately, per Channel 12, may offer 5-year missile halt, enrichment reduction, IAEA inspections, and halting proxy funding.
Channel 12 (Israeli TV) reported Iran's formal demands: ceasefire guarantees, Hormuz under Iranian control, closure of all US bases in region, financial war compensation. Separately, Channel 12 reports Iran's private opening positions (as understood by US): 5-year halt to ballistic missile program; 'reduce' uranium enrichment; discuss 60% enriched uranium stockpile; allow IAEA inspection of remaining centrifuges; stop funding Hezbollah, Hamas, and Iraqi militias. If accurate, these private positions explain Trump's 'major points of agreement' claim while reconciling Iran's categorical public denial of talks. The formal-vs-private gap is the core dynamic of the current 15-point negotiation.
