Exclusive | Iran’s Red Lines: Why Tehran Rejected U.S. Ceasefire Offer & What Next In West Asia

In an India Today global exclusive, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei breaks silence on Iran’s definitive response to the U.S. and President Trump’s recent "unacceptable" threats. Amidst a high-stakes naval blockade and the 2026 Iran war, Baghaei details Iran’s 10-point peace proposal aimed at ending hostilities and reopening the critical Strait of Hormuz. From the fallout of the 2015 JCPOA to the current shadow war with Israel, Baghaei argues that Iran’s "maximum self-restraint" is being tested by U.S. "maritime piracy." He reveals the red lines of Tehran’s nuclear program and why they believe the world is waking up to an "unjust war" of aggression.
