Iran Sets Five Conditions for US Talks Amid Ceasefire Tensions
Iran has established five strict conditions that the United States must meet before engaging in any new round of negotiations, describing them as minimum guarantees for building trust. According to Iranian media reports, Tehran rejected a recent 14-point US proposal, viewing it as an attempt to impose surrender and continue coercive policies. The five conditions include ending regional wars on all fronts, particularly in Lebanon; lifting all sanctions against Iran; releasing frozen Iranian assets; providing compensation for war-related losses; and recognizing Tehran’s sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian officials informed Pakistani mediators that ongoing naval blockades in the Arabian Sea and Gulf of Oman, despite ceasefire agreements, further erode trust in Washington. Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi emphasized that real peace cannot be achieved through humiliation or threats, arguing that the US approach aims to impose political will rather than seek genuine stability. He stated that diplomacy is impossible while sanctions tighten and blockades continue, labeling the US strategy as coercive policy disguised as negotiation. These demands reflect Iran's stance that no serious diplomatic arrangement can occur without addressing what it terms illegal uses of force and respecting its national rights.
