Across Iran people take to the streets April 9, 2026 for ceremonies marking the 40th day of mourning for Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei

On April 8, Iran declared a "historic and crushing defeat" of the United States and the Israeli regime after 40 days of war. "Iran has achieved a great victory and has forced criminal America to accept its own 10-point proposal," the statement issued by Iran's Supreme National Security Council read. "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."

"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."

According to the statement, the United States agreed to a 10-point proposal that fundamentally commits it 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 resolutions from the International Atomic Energy Agency's Board of Governors
- Payment of compensation to Iran
- Withdrawal of U.S. combat forces from the region
- Cessation of war on all fronts, including against the heroic Islamic Resistance of Lebanon

Israeli Media Admits Defeat

The U.S./Israeli war has ended in a "decisive victory for Iran," with both the U.S. and Israel conceding to a "strategic surrender" and retreating from the battlefield, Israel's Maariv newspaper admitted. The report underscored the "massive defeat" of the U.S. and Israeli forces, which would carry long-term consequences, particularly in Lebanon, and would bolster Iran's regional position in the Persian Gulf for years to come. The Israeli newspaper also emphasized that Iran has imposed a deal largely of its own design on the U.S., rejecting Trump's proposal.
