Iran has given the United States seven conditions for ending the war. The head of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, Mohsen Rezaei, said Tehran had conveyed its conditions for ending the war to the United States, and was now waiting for the answer of the United States president, Donald Trump. Meanwhile the outbreak of conflict between Saudi Arabia and Yemen’s Houthis has heated the situation further.
Mohsen Rezaei set out the conditions in a post on X early on Sunday. He wrote that Tehran’s message was clear and unambiguous. If Washington wants to get out of the complications it has created for itself, and does not want to become further entangled in them, it has no alternative but to accept Iran’s rights and conditions. NDTV Online reported this.
Among the important Iranian conditions are an end to the war on every front, the release of Iran’s frozen assets, and the withdrawal of the United States naval blockade of Iran’s ports. Rezaei also said the conflict involving Yemen and Saudi Arabia must be stopped. No details of the conditions were given. Rezaei said: “We are in contact with the mediator Qatar to convey our conditions to Washington with the aim of ending the war.”
He added that it is in Washington’s own interest to accept these conditions. Trump’s threats will bring no result, he said, and Iran is ready for a final fight. Rezaei also said that by Iran’s military assessment the likelihood of a fresh United States attack on the country is “very strong”. He said Tehran is working on a new strategy to end the war as quickly as possible.
The war in the Middle East began on February 28, when United States and Israeli forces jointly attacked Iran. A large part of the country’s leadership was killed, including its then supreme leader, the 86-year-old Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. In response, Iranian forces attacked United States and Israeli military installations and assets in the Middle East.
To end the war, Donald Trump and Iran’s president, Masoud Pezeshkian, signed a 14-point agreement on June 17. It provided for an immediate halt to military operations in Lebanon and other areas, and committed the two countries to work towards a final agreement within 60 days. On July 8, however, Trump announced that the agreement was finished. A week later Tehran also suspended the memorandum of understanding. Iran alleges that Washington violated all its commitments.
Washington alleges that Iran did not keep the commitment Tehran gave under the agreement to restore shipping through the strategically important Strait of Hormuz. Tehran’s contention, on the other hand, is that the United States has also stepped back from its own commitments, including the withdrawal of the blockade of Iran’s ports and the failure to release Iran’s frozen assets.
