On Wednesday, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it has “no confidence” in the promises of the United States and warned it would respond to any aggression that occurs during the ceasefire agreed upon last night.

Iranian military officials remain ready, under the orders of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyed Mojtaba Jamenei, to confront any “new mistake by the enemy.” The IRGC also sent a message to Middle Eastern countries hosting U.S. bases.

“U.S. regional partners have witnessed the weakness of Washington and the Zionist regime, and they should take note and cease their cooperation with them,” it said.

On Tuesday night, Iran and the United States agreed to a two-week ceasefire. This decision is based on President Donald Trump’s acceptance of a 10-point plan proposed by Iran, which has not been officially made public.

According to Al Jazeera, the Iranian proposal includes the following points:

  1. Fundamental commitment to non-aggression from the U.S.
  2. Controlled passage through the Strait of Hormuz in coordination with the Iranian armed forces, which in effect would mean that Iran retains its leverage over the waterway.
  3. An acceptance of Iran’s nuclear enrichment programme.
  4. The lifting of all primary and secondary sanctions and resolutions against Iran.
  5. End of all resolutions against Iran at the International Atomic Energy Agency.
  6. End of all resolutions against Iran at the United Nations Security Council.
  7. The withdrawal of U.S. combat forces from all bases in the region.
  8. Full compensation for damages suffered by Iran during the war — to be secured through payments to Iran by ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz.
  9. The release of all Iranian assets and properties frozen abroad.
  10. The ratification of all these matters in a binding United Nations Security Council resolution.
