Iran rejected a U.S.-supported ceasefire proposal and instead demanded its own conditions to end the conflict.
An Iranian official told state-run media that Tehran would not negotiate under the current terms and said that Iran “will end the war when it decides to do so and when its own conditions are met.”
According to the report from Press TV, specific conditions under which Iran could agree to end the war include:
- A halt to “aggression and assassinations”
- Establishing means of ensuring the conflict is not restarted on Iran
- War reparations
- The conclusion of conflict across all fronts and resistance groups in the region
- Recognition and guarantees that the Strait of Hormuz is in Iran’s control
Israel’s Channel 12 reported 14 of the 15 proposal points. As stated in the report:
- Iran must dismantle existing nuclear capabilities.
- Iran must commit never to pursue nuclear weapons.
- No uranium enrichment on Iranian territory.
- Iran must hand its stockpile of enriched uranium to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
- The Natanz, Isfahan and Fordo nuclear facilities must be dismantled.
- The IAEA must be granted full access to Iran’s nuclear facilities.
- Iran must abandon its “regional proxy paradigm.”
- Iran must cease funding, directing and arming its proxies.
- The Strait of Hormuz must remain open.
- Iran’s missile program must be limited in both range and quantity.
- Iran must limit its use of missiles to self-defense.
Iran would benefit from:
- The end of sanctions imposed by the international community.
- US assistance to advance its civilian nuclear program.
- A “snapback” mechanism allowing for the automatic reimposition of sanctions if Iran fails to comply would be removed.
The news comes as the Pentagon signed three frameworks to boost weapons production.
