Islamic Republic of Iran has rejected US President Donald Trump’s 15-point plan to end the war, according to state-run Press TV.
It cited a “senior political-security official” laying out five of Tehran’s own conditions to bring the conflict to an end, including paying reparations for damage.
According to Press TV, Iran has listed five conditions to end the war.
They include a complete halt to “aggression and assassinations by the enemy”.
Other Iranian conditions include “concrete mechanisms to ensure that the war is not reimposed on the Islamic Republic”, though it is unclear what guarantees could be provided and which countries would take part – or monitor their observation.
On the economic front, Iran is also demanding the payment of war damages and reparations, as well as the right to remain solely in charge of the Strait of Hormuz.
Crucially, Tehran wants Israel to end attacks on Iranian allies in the region.
The TV was quoted as saying these conditions are in addition to demands previously presented by Tehran during negotiations in Geneva, which took place in February, shortly before the war began.
Recall that on Tuesday, Trump said Iran was “desperate” for talks and that Iranian negotiators had given the US a “very significant prize”.
The “present” was related to oil and gas, and the Strait of Hormuz, the US president said, without providing further details.
But Iran’s parliament speaker has dismissed any suggestion of talks altogether.
“No negotiations have been held with the US, and fakenews [sic] is used to manipulate the financial and oil markets and escape the quagmire in which the US and Israel are trapped,” Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf wrote on X.
