India, April 6 -- Iran has rejected a US-backed ceasefire proposal, instead submitting a detailed 10-point response calling for a permanent end to the conflict, according to state-run Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA).

"In this response, set out in ten points, Iran has rejected a ceasefire and insists on the need for a definitive end to the conflict," IRNA reported.

Tehran conveyed its position to Washington via Pakistan on Monday.

The proposal reportedly includes demands for a complete cessation of hostilities across the region, a framework to ensure safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, the lifting of sanctions, and commitments toward post-war reconstruction.
