The differing statements on the real ’10-point plan’published at 01:33 BST

There’s been a lot of confusion around a 10-point proposal submitted by Iranian leaders ahead of the ceasefire.
Donald Trump mentioned it in his post on Truth Social announcing the ceasefire, and said it was a “workable basis on which to negotiate”.
Since then, several iterations of the plan have been surfaced.
Iranian state-run media revealed one that included cessation of the war in Iran, Iraq, Yemen and Lebanon, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and full commitment to the US lifting sanctions.
Then came one from Iran’s Supreme National Security Council adding more stipulations that were supposedly agreed. They included Iran keeping control of the Strait of Hormuz, permission to continue its enrichment of uranium and no more targeting of “Islamic resistance of Lebanon”.
The part about enrichment was eventually removed from the English translation of the security council’s statement.
Trump and White House have today disputed some of those points – including statements that a ceasefire on Lebanon is not a part of the deal and that there will be no enrichment of uranium.
“There is only one group of meaningful “POINTS” that are acceptable to the United States,” Trump wrote.
Vice-President JD Vance said there have been three iterations of the 10-point plan, one of which was “garbage” and another of which was “reasonable”.
The Speaker of Iran’s Parliament, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, has issued a statement saying the “denial of Iran’s right to enrichment” was a violation of the 10-point plan, as was the exclusion of Lebanon from the ceasefire.
