In a statement addressed to the "noble, great, and heroic nation of Iran," the Supreme National Security Council said the enemy had suffered an undeniable defeat and now saw "no way forward but to submit to the will of the great nation of Iran and the honorable Axis of Resistance."
The announcement comes on Day 40 of the US-Israeli war of aggression on Iran, which began with the assassination of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and top-ranking commanders on February 28.
According to the statement, the United States has agreed to a 10-point proposal that fundamentally commits Washington to:
No new aggression against Iran
Continued Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz
Acceptance of enrichment
Removal of all primary sanctions
Removal of all secondary sanctions
Termination of all UN Security Council resolutions
Termination of all Board of Governors resolutions
Payment of compensation to Iran
Withdrawal of US combat forces from the region
Cessation of war on all fronts, including against the heroic Islamic Resistance of Lebanon
"Iran has achieved a great victory and has forced criminal America to accept its own 10-point proposal," the statement read.
The statement by the top security body described the past 40 days as one of the "heaviest combined battles in history," in which Iran and its allies in Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen, and occupied Palestine inflicted blows that "the historical memory of the world will never forget."
"Iran and the Resistance have almost completely destroyed the American military machine in the region," it stated. "They have inflicted crushing and deep blows on the vast infrastructure and capabilities that the enemy had built and deployed around the region over many years for this war against Iran."
The statement added that within the occupied territories, Resistance forces had dealt "devastating and crushing blows to the enemy's forces, infrastructure, facilities, and assets."
It further stated that the United States understood as early as 10 days into the war that it could not win.
"Not only did none of the enemy's main objectives materialize, but the enemy realized from about 10 days after the start of the war that it would have no ability to win this war," the statement said. "For this reason, through various channels and methods, the enemy began efforts to establish contact with Iran and request a ceasefire."
The top security body further said the enemy had initially imagined a quick military victory, believing Iran's missile and drone capabilities would be "quickly extinguished," and noted that the "vile global Zionism" had convinced the "ignorant President of the United States" that the war would finish Iran.
While declaring victory, the top security body also urged continued vigilance.
"We congratulate all the people of Iran on this victory," the statement read, "and emphasize that until the details of this victory are finalized, there remains a need for the resilience and prudence of officials and the preservation of unity and solidarity among the people of Iran."
The Iranian announcement came hours after Trump said he had agreed to a two-week suspension of bombing and attacks on Iran, subject to Tehran reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
