Iran has rejected the United States’ proposal to end the war and said that it will “end the war” on its own terms. A senior Iranian official with knowledge about the details of the proposal spoke to Press TV and called Washington’s proposal “excessive”.”Iran will end the war when it decides to do so and when its own conditions are met,” the official said. Iran intends to continue with its defence against the US and has vowed to inflict “heavy blows” till its conditions are fulfilled.
The official highlighted how the US deceived Iran during negotiations twice in the past and said that in both cases Washington did not have any genuine intention of engaging in meaningful dialogue. Citing the two instances of military aggression against the country, Tehran said that it has responded negatively to the latest overture.
The Islamic Republic laid out five conditions under which Iran would consider ending the war.A complete end to the US and Israel’s “aggression and assassinations”.Putting concrete safeguards in place to prevent any future military action against the Islamic Republic.Clear and guaranteed compensation for losses and damages caused by the war.Ending the war on all fronts and for every resistance group active across the region.Iran maintains that its sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz is a longstanding legal right, one that guarantees the other party’s commitments and must be formally recognised.
These conditions are in addition to those proposed to the US during the second round of talks in Geneva, days before America and Israel launched strikes on February 28, killing the Islamic Republic’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and top-ranking military and government officials.
