US Vice President JD Vance has waded into the controversy over the 10-point proposal sent by Iran ahead of negotiations to end the conflict in the Middle East. Vance on Wednesday said that Iran had sent three versions of the proposals, claiming that the first one was written by ChatGPT.
Vance added that the three different proposals by Iran have created confusion about what will form the basis of negotiations, which are expected to begin in Islamabad from April 11.
Iran on Wednesday claimed a “historic victory” over the US and Israel after US President Donald Trump agreed to a two-week ceasefire. Tehran also claimed that Washington DC has agreed to its proposals. However, the US has disputed this claim so far.
“The first 10-point proposal was something that was submitted, and we think, frankly, was probably written by ChatGPT," a CNN report quoted him as saying. Vance added it was immediately rejected by Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, who are a part of his negotiation team.
He went on to say that the second version of the proposal was "more reasonable" as it was created after some deliberations between the negotiators from Pakistan and Iran. Vance said that US President Donald Trump referred to this version in his Truth Social post on Wednesday.
The US Vice President slammed the third version of the 10-point proposal, calling it “even more maximalist” than the first.
Vance also urged Iran to not derail the fragile two-week ceasefire over Lebanon, which he claimed, was never included in the ceasefire deal.
“I think the Iranians thought that the ceasefire included Lebanon, and it just didn’t. We never made that promise,” he said.
Iran has sought a ceasefire in Lebanon, calling it a key demand to end the broader conflict in the Middle East.
Vance's remarks came after Israel carried out its largest wave of strikes in the country since hostilities resumed following the Iran conflict. Lebanon’s Health Ministry said at least 182 people were killed and nearly 900 injured on Wednesday.
