Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi on Friday said a consensus has been reached for Iran's 10-point plan to serve as the basis for negotiations with the United States.
Speaking at a meeting with foreign envoys and representatives of international organizations in Tehran, Ravanchi said Iran welcomes diplomacy and dialogue but will never accept talks based on false information or designed to pave the way for renewed military aggression.
Iran's Supreme National Security Council said Wednesday the two-week ceasefire with the United States does not signal an end to the war, pending negotiations over the details of the plan. Key points include continued Iranian control of the Strait of Hormuz, withdrawal of U.S. combat forces from the region, and lifting international sanctions.
The United States and Iran are scheduled to hold talks in Islamabad, Pakistan, on Saturday morning during the two-week conditional truce announced on Tuesday, more than one month after the start of U.S.-Israeli joint military strikes on Iran.

The Spanish Ministry of Health on Monday confirmed a new positive case of hantavirus among the 14 Spaniards who were among the passengers of the cruise ship MV Hondius affected by an outbreak of the disease while crossing the Atlantic Ocean in April.
The 14 Spanish nationals from the vessel were evacuated from the island of Tenerife in a tightly controlled operation on May 10 and have since remained in preventive quarantine at Madrid's Gomez Ulla Central Defense Hospital.
The latest positive case was detected during routine PCR testing conducted under the isolation and control system already in place, according to the ministry.
The patient, currently asymptomatic, has been transferred to the hospital's High-Level Isolation Unit (UATAN), where he remains under specialized medical supervision and strict biosafety protocols, the ministry said.
The detection of this new case does not alter the risk level for the general population or alter the epidemiological response measures currently in place, the ministry added.
It is the second Spaniard to test positive after arriving in Madrid, with the first patient reported to be recovering favorably after showing symptoms.
