Iran Sets Demands for Ending Conflict with US: A Deep Dive
Iran has responded negatively to US proposals aimed at ending the ongoing conflict, insisting that any cessation of hostilities will occur on Tehran’s terms and timeline. A senior Iranian official has outlined five specific conditions that must be met before Iran will consider ending the war.
US Proposals Deemed “Excessive” and Untrustworthy
According to a senior Iranian political and security official speaking exclusively to Press TV, the Iranian government will not allow US President Donald Trump to dictate the terms or timing of a potential peace. The official emphasized Iran’s determination to continue its defense and inflict “heavy blows” on its adversaries until its demands are satisfied.
Washington’s proposals, conveyed through diplomatic channels, have been dismissed as “excessive” and unrealistic, reflecting a failure to acknowledge America’s battlefield setbacks. These negotiations are viewed as a continuation of previous, insincere attempts at dialogue, followed by military aggression against Iran.
The Five Conditions for Peace
Iran has laid out five specific conditions that must be met to end the conflict:
- A complete cessation of “aggression and assassinations” by adversaries.
- The establishment of concrete mechanisms to guarantee that war will not be re-initiated against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
- Payment of war reparations and guaranteed, clearly defined compensation for damages.
- A complete end to hostilities on all fronts and for all resistance groups throughout the region.
- Recognition of Iran’s sovereign right over the Strait of Hormuz, and its use as a guarantee for the fulfillment of commitments by other parties.
These demands are in addition to previously stated requirements presented during negotiations in Geneva prior to the February 28th attacks. Iran has communicated to all intermediaries acting in good faith that a ceasefire is contingent upon the acceptance of all these conditions.
“No Negotiations Before Acceptance”
The Iranian official was firm: “There will be no negotiations held before that.” Iran’s defensive operations will continue until these conditions are met. The official concluded, “The war will end when Iran decides to end it, not when Trump envisions its resolution.”
