Iran has rejected U.S. proposals for a ceasefire as “excessive,” reiterating its own conditions for any potential end to hostilities.
Citing a senior official, Iranian state broadcaster Press TV reported that “Iran will end the war when it decides and when its conditions are met,” emphasizing that negotiations will not occur before this point.
The official stated, “The war will end when Iran chooses to end it, not when Trump plans to end it,” reaffirming Tehran’s position maintained over the past several days. No official Iranian statement has yet been released.
The reported conditions include:
- Cessation of attacks and killings
- Guarantees against future conflicts
- Payment of war reparations
- Termination of hostilities across all fronts involving allied groups
- Recognition of Iranian authority over the Strait of Hormuz
The day before, former U.S. President Donald Trump claimed that his envoys Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, Vice President JD Vance, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio were engaged in discussions. Details of the Iranian negotiation team remain unclear.
